I have been running into issues if Firefox affecting other programs. One example - closing a game from the big fish game manager. Normal termination of the game hangs up. Closing firefox, usually via the windows task manager, frees up the game manager and the game properly terminates. However, before having task manager close firefox, I see a number anywhere from 6 to 12 or more - firefox(10) for example - trying to re-launch firefox gets an endless round of messages about firefox not responding and a request to close firefox. So far I have only found one effective workaround to this issue. Booting into safe mode and clearing temp and prefetch. This usually holds but I have been seeing this every day for the last 4 days. What is going on and how do I fix it?
