For a few days now, Firefox has been acting strangely on a whole new scale for me. Starting from the day it was acting up, Firefox had crashed upon closing down. When it had closed/or crashed, the process for it: "firefox.exe", was still running in the background using almost unnoticeable memory (usually around 130 to 250k of memory).

Ever since then, whenever I push the power button to start up Windows, firefox.exe would start up with it as if it was a startup service and because of that, it was nigh impossible to close it even if I had restarted Windows.

I have already used some methods to solve this:

- Trying to end process using Task Manager. - Restarting the computer, which didn't work as firefox.exe starts up as well. - Trying to delete parent.lock (Which in this state, it will NOT delete prior that firefox.exe was still running) - Making sure the "Read-only" tag is unchecked on the profile (This failed each time it is unchecked when applied.)

So for now, I've made use with Edge for the time being until then

Use "3-bar" menu button > Exit (Power button) (Windows: File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes", try to disable this feature.
