Firefox won't quit. What good is it when I can't stop it?

After reboot, Firefox runs. When I quit it with the red x at the top right, it goes away but doesn't quit. When I need it again I get the message that it is still running and that I need to reboot.
I just rebooted the computer and there is no change.

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

    Hopefully this will help you.  Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again.  You may have to try this a few times.

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    What do you do when you can't read the code on a iTunes gift card? I tried taking it back to the store with my reciept, but they said I would have to contact Apple support. Am I out just out $25 dollars?

  • What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

    What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

    That means:
    The battery is dead
    The phone has been turned off
    The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
    The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
    The phone has been wiped.
    The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

    what do I do when I can not find the curser

  • Using Mac OSX, Firefox won't quit but enters endless loop

    This happens with both desktop and ibook Macs. Can't stop the loop with any keystrokes. Have to hold the power button to exit.

    Please do not use power button to exit your Mac. Instead, you can force Firefox to quit by using the '''Force Quit''' option. See these instructions on how to do that: [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411 How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit].

  • If my network goes out briefly due to a problem at my ISP, FireFox immediatly opens a "diagnose network problems" page. How can I stop this?

    If my network connection goes out briefly due to a problem at my ISP, FireFox immediately opens a "diagnose network problems" page. This is particularly annoying when I don't even have FireFox or any other software open. Ideally, I do NOT want FireFox to even check if my Network is connected. How can I stop this?
