When my volume applet is open (habit) in vista it crashes when I close firefox
I use windows vista and have the habit of keeping my volume applet open as I always wear headphones and I'm always watching media. when I close firefox (now that I updated to 8.0) it crashes the volume applet. Trivial but annoying.
Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check

I can make the groups but the problem happens when i close firefox and open again.
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox or use cleanup software that clears session data (sessionstore.js)

Sometimes when I close Firefox and try to open it in few moments it shows me message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." However, I haven't opened any additional Firefox related programs, and previous Firefox is closed. First I though it is because of my computer, but then I discovered that other people have the same problem as well
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== some 2 month ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:

I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.
Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I
go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened
tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set
"tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.
I tried that but it doesn't work.
Any help is appreciated.In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data. -
Firefox is freezing in the middle of a browsing session. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox to still be running. Once I close Firefox in Task Manager, I can re-start Firefox. This can happen several times in the space of a few hours? I'm running Vista Home premium with Firefox 3.6.16, and this problem has only started in the last 4 weeks. Can Anyone Help? Core 2 Duo E7300 with 4GB RAM.
Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

When I close Firefox and re-open it, all previously cached images are NOT loaded from cache. Why?
I have a website. Google recommended page-speed and I had previously installed fire-bug. I open Firefox and inspect my website - the home page loads in approx 2 seconds. I may follow a variety of links and all images ( expiry life of 3 months ), css and js files ( expiry life 1 hour ) are cached so that each screen loaded takes less time. If I close firefox get on with other work and then re-open it, its like the images were never cached - what's the point of caching if its ignored?
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox or use cleanup software that clears session data (sessionstore.js)

when I close firefox, it will not allow me reopen it unless I CTRL-ALT-DLT and force it to actually close, which at this point it is using up an average of 300,000k-450,000k. also, almost none of the links I click, open. i have to right click and open in new tab.

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

Use FF3 and taking a look at FF4. I set up some App Tabs. Close FF4. Open FF4. No App Tabs.
Any Help?Are you clearing your recent history when you close Firefox?
Firefox stores App Tabs and tab group details in the same file that stores details of browsing sessions. Make sure that you have not set Firefox to delete browsing history. For details of the setting to check see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History -
When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.I am not clear what you mean by:
''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
When you say
''I close it the program does not completely close ''
Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles. -
Apparently when I close Firefox it doesn't really close. I get told when I try to open Firefox later "Firefox is still open, you must close Firefox, Then reopen it. Then I hit Alt, Ctrl & Del, go to process's then I have to close it then reopen it. It does not open until it is closed in process's.
The process can take a few seconds to close. Sometimes you need to use Task Manager.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.

When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.
Quando eu fecho o Firefox, a janela fecha normalmente, mas o firefox.exe ainda aparece no Processos do Gerenciador de Tarefas. Eu tenho que Finalizar Tarefa pra abrir o Firefox de novo, e quando abre vai para a página de Restaurar Última Sessão.I have the same problem - every time I close firefox (using either the red x or by selecting file ---> exit) the program appears to close normally, but the firefox.exe *32 process continues to run. If I try to re-open firefox normally I get a message that the program is still running and I need to go into task manager and manually kill the process.
I could also kill the process from the command prompt, but both of those methods are slow and annoying. This issue has only been occurring for the last 24 hours or so; to the best of my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new software or updated any plug-ins that would have caused a switch from firefox's normal awesomeness. Norton doesn't show any new viruses or other nastiness on my computer.
I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium edition.
