Try exiting Firefox via the 3-bar menu button -> Exit. I've found that using the close button in Firefox instead of the Exit button will leave a ghost Firefox in your Task Manager. Since I've started going the latter route, I haven't had this issue.

This link has a program that can crash Firefox.

Sometimes when FF is closing, not all of it shuts down properly.

It's in the lower right corner, right next to the help menu (the '?').
