Every time Firefox opened
== after updating/upgrading firefox

Maybe, you just need to wait for some time for Firefox to unload.
Maybe, it's an extension/plugin slowing your Firefox.
When I close Firefox in the evening, it closes slowly and uses 50% of CPU. It does unload after several (30? 60?) seconds.

I have the same problem. Firefox won't unload regardless of how long I wait. Literally hours ... I must go in and 'end the process'. This has been a real hassle for a while now. Even considered giving up on firefox. Please look into this! An additional problem; I have to run firefox to get the updates, but I can't get the updates to take because I can't get firefox to unload so I can restart it.
