I have just downloaded a program and to fully install it it is requesting that I close the browser and re-open it. I don't know how to close and re-open the browser. Can you tell me how to close and re-open the browser? Thank you

To close the browser , in the menus select File, and then Exit. Alternatively click on the red X in the top right corner of the Firefox window. To re-open it click on the shortcut you use to start Firefox.

It is always best to use File > Exit
That will close all open windows, so if there are still other windows open then these won't close if you use the close X on the title bar.

Also make sure that you do not have security software that is locking files in the Firefox program folder.
