Firefox does not close properly making reopening later impossible without rebooting computer.

I live in Texas and my sister lives in Georgia. We are both experiencing problems with closing Firefox. It appears to close properly but when I try to reopen later in the day, my computer tells me that it is still running in the back ground and cannot be reopened. I tried upgrading to the latest version but the problem persists. When I go into Task Manager, I can't find an entry for Firefox to close out.

Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to open Task Manager, go to the '''Processes '''menu, right click on '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Kill Process'''.
When you finish a browsing session, go to '''File '''| '''Exit '''to close it if the problem persists.
Try disabling the McAfee Virtual Technician plugin via '''Tools '''| '''Add-ons''' | '''Plugins'''.

If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

TestStatnd operatore Interface does not close properly

Hi
I am using LabVIEW 8.2 and TestStand 3.5. I use the default Operatore Interface (full featured) provided by NI. The TestExec.exe does not close properly when I exit the application. Everytime the process is running in windows. I had to use Windows Task Manager to kill the TestExec.exe manaully.
Is there a fix for this?
Thx
Abdulla

Hi,
Do you start any new executions either from within your sequences or from within a step that you are not closing properly?

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

If you mean the "no entry" sign, a circle with a slash through it, then you need to reinstall Mountain Lion.
Boot into the Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r at startup tone until gray screen.
From there, reinstall Mountain Lion.

Firefox 29 does not close properly

Since upgrading to Firefox 29, Firefox no longer closes properly. Error message says something like "process is running, close process or restart system". This began immediately after upgrading to Firefox 29. Running Windows 7 Professional (SP1). Firefox 28 worked fine. No changes other than to upgrade Firefox. Cannot keep restarting my system to use this browser. Will have to switch to an alternative if this bug isn't fixed. Have used Firefox from the beginning but this is a deal breaker. Hope you can fix it. No time for workarounds and inspecting plug-ins. The problem clearly lies with this version of Firefox.

hello, unfortunately this is currently a bug in the current firefox version when you have set your history to be cleared at firefox shutdown (under options > privacy) - that is investigated and in the process of getting fixed by mozilla's developers with a high priority.

TestStand Simple OI does not close properly

Hi there.
We have build a test system that is running TestStand 4.2 and the code modules are created with LabVIEW 9.0. The SW is running on a PC with Windows XP.
We are currently using TestStand Simple Operator Interface (LabVIEW version) to run the tests, and it is with the Operator Interface that we are having a problem.
If we use the TestExec.exe file that came with the TestStand installation everything works fine. But we need to make some modifications to OI and if we open the project file and recompile the OI, then the OI will not close properly. It seems to shutdown the testengine and stop execution of the VI, but the window does not disappear until we move the mouse.
When I open the project file LabVIEW informs me that the project was last saved in version 7.1.1 and we are now running 9.0.
Can anyone tell me what is holding the window on the screen until there is activity on the mouse?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was looking through TestStand 4.2 known issues, and I found this:
ID# 148697
LabVIEW User Interface might hang when using LabVIEW events
A LabVIEW User Interface that registers ActiveX callbacks and uses an event structure might hang when the user interacts with a LabVIEW control or indicator. The hang is rare, but when it occurs, TestStand User Interface (UI) Controls remain responsive, but all LabVIEW User Interface elements appear frozen.
Workaround: Activate another application and reactive the LabVIEW User Interface.
Not exactly the same as I am experiencing but sounds similar - Does anyone know more about this issue?

Report window does not close properly when using openDocument

XI R2 InfoView
Windows 2003 server
IIS
IE7
We have been experimenting with the use of openDocument and have managed to achieve what we wanted but have one small problem. When the document is retrieved it is opened in a new browser window. When Close is selected from the drop-down Document menu the document is closed but the window shrinks to approx 8.5cm x 6 cm and remains open.
A similar thing happens when we use the Preview button to view a document in the CMC, except in that case the document does not close and closing the browser window leaves a button on the Windows taskbar. There doesn't appear to be a related window as it cannot be restored but you have to right click and select Close to get rid of it.
Any ideas what is causing these problems and how we can get round them?

Anne,
There are some parameters in opendocument (for ex. sWindow) that can help control certain things, have you tried employing anything like that? What I find frustrating is the behavior of opendocument based on whether you're running Infoview or WebI -- each product, using the same exact opendocument syntax yields different results. Based on the sample code below, what I'm seeing with Infoview is the same browser instance is used for calling the child report, however, in WebI, a new browser instance is started and the child report is rendered in Infoview. In my case, when running within WebI and getting a new browser instance in Infoview, and then using the "Document", "close" workflow, the second instance is exiting and I'm back to the previous browser. Staying within Infoview entirely through the process, when closing the child report I get brought back to the folder list page. Who's to know?

Thanks,

AVG said too much memory in Firefox, should close out/what do I do

my virus scan is AVG & it pops up saying too much memory in Firefox slowing my computer. How can I correct this. They say to close firefox & reopen.

The troubleshooting extension is no longer used in the current Firefox release because there is a special API that is used when available.

Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="4"
screenY="4"
width="1008"
height="461"
sizemode="Normal" />
i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

Adobe flash 11.01.152 is crashing and firefox will not close properly

when I go to a site such as Castle Empire Adobe Flash crashes and hangs up fire fox then eventually will report the crash. When I close firefox then try to open it again I get an error message of firefox still running. This does not show in task manager as an Application running but does as a process. I have to stop the firefox.exe*32 before I can open firefox again.
I'm running Windows 7 and have all the latest updates.

It is not generally advised to install software in Windows Safe Mode. Only a small subset of the Windows operating system is loaded in Safe Mode. Some software will not install at all in Safe Mode. Some users installing software in Safe Mode have ended up with problems "down the road".
If you can not install software in regular Windows mode, that '''''may''''' indicate a problem with your Windows installation which needs to be investigated, sometimes by a professional.
You may sometimes be advised to un-install in Windows Safe Mode when a program will not otherwise un-install, but the un-install is not as complete.

I cannot connect to the login page of my banking websites for Firefox but can from IE also firefox does not close when I shut it down I have just done a clean instal of windowsws7 and teh problem persists on reinstall of FF3.6.13

I can connect with my banking websites but the login page will not come up. This is a recent occurrence and I have done virus scans and have also recently done a clean instal of Windows 7. The problem persists. I can connect to any other website with no problems. When I close FF it appears to close and Task manager shows as not running but it will not reopen. If I attempt to uninstall I am told that FF is running and needs to be closed. I have to reboot to get to close and be able to reopen.
I can connect to the bank sites with IE. However I really don't like IE.

I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions?

How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.
