Firefox doesn't completely close when I click the "x" in the upper right corner. I have to go into taskmanager to end process before I can enter firefox again. I'm the administrator of my machine.

I'm running Firefox 7.0 but this problem also happened with ver. 6. My computer is running Vista professional. I have not had problems loading pages or frequent crashes -- just not closing properly most of the time.

Try to close Firefox via "File > Exit" if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
