After using FF and closing it will not always reload and requires me to restart my computer, why?

After running FF and visiting different web sites and then closing down FF it will not restart without a restart of my computer. version 4.

I have uninstalled and re-installed FF several times to no avail.

I also have had the problem that when trying to read a complete article on Eurekalert.org I can only do so by opening in another tab rather than just being able to click on it to open.
