firefox won't close after checking plugins

I do a plugins check B4 I close Firefox, then I always run CCleaner after that, but lately CCleaner has been telling me that I still have a browser open and asks if I want it to close Firefox, if I tell it "yes" then it says it is taking too long do I want it to force Firefox to close! I have not changed anything, upgraded, or uninstalled anything. I am running the latest version of Firefox (not Beta) it is the only browser I use. I run Windows XPPro, and work on a IBM ThinkPad T42p.

I had tried every other way to close but File>Exit, and that did it! Thank You!
