279267 - Firefox will not shut down when I try to shut down my computer (I get an 'End Program - firefox.exe' prompt)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309150

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tony B]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I try to shut down my computer, I am getting an 'End Program - firefox.exe'
prompt and when I click on the End Now button, the same prompt pops up again. 
This prompt box has some kind of status bar and when it's complete, it just pops
up again.  Something is screwed up.  

I've looked everywhere on the forums for a solution but could not find one.

Is this a common problem and can it be resolved?

Reproducible: Didn't try

I also have the same problem with Windowns XP Professional with Service Pack 2.
Every time I try to shut down my computer, the Ending Program pops up for
Firefox and SMax4PNN, even though all my Firefox windows have been closed.
