Firefox-bin will not shut down when I close the browser in Linux Mint.

hopefully I've chosen the right help category.

When I try to shut down or restart firefox (fully updated) the file in my system monitor called firefox-bin persists. I have to end or kill the process there to turn off the browser. Due to this situation, I cannot restart the browser in troubleshoot mode or anything else. It's cold start or nothing. 99% of what I use firefox for is youtube. There are a couple of channels that when I open a video, the page will not fully load and will not play. The comments won't load either. Also, while those tabs are open my CPU usage skyrockets and memory maxes out...which freezes the computer. It's not all channels.. maybe 4 so far. I've manually turned off all extensions/themes, rebooted and tried again.. no joy. Full system freeze. I've tried to do a clean reinstall over the old files in the Linux terminal.. it just says it's already updated. I could be doing that wrong since the instructions I found on this site only apply to windows and mac machines and I was kind of winging it. Thoughts on what I can do to fix things?

There's a button below this box that suggests sharing browser data.. I'm not using firefox right now, so that wouldn't help.
