Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 286355

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Julian van Neerbos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050703 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050703 Firefox/1.0+

Firefox.exe process keeps running after closing Firefox. If you restart Firefox
it's telling you that’s it's already running and that you have to restart
Firefox. A advanced user knows that he can kill the process in the task manager
and should restart Firefox. A beginner and maybe even a normal user wouldn’t
have a clue what to do. Maybe it's possible to create a option/button to choose
restart Firefox. This option should kill the running process and restart Firefox.

Reproducible: Always
