When quitting, the window closes but Firefox remains "on." It's the same whether
I use the keystroke or menu "Quit"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Quit Firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
Window closed, application remained "on."

It should quit. Force Quit works, seems to cause no problem in system, other
applications or finder.

OS is now 10.4.2
I just tried 1.0.6. Opened Comcast Mail and Mozilla change password and it would not quit. Force quit.
Then I opened it again, went to Comcast Mail Login but didn't hit Enter. It quit.
Reopened. Went to NYTimes.com. It quit.
Reopened. Went to Yahoo Mail. Didn't sign out. It quit.
Reopened. Logged in to Comcast Mail. It quit this time.
Reopened. Logged into Comcast Mail. Read one, deleted it, moved it back to Inbox. Firefox stayed 
open, but no other menu bar items would open. When I clicked on the "Firefox" menu, nothing 
happened, I left to come back to Safari, I got a "Firefox has quit unexpectedly." Except, it hasn't. It's still 
there in the Command-Tab Application Switcher, but the Dock won't pop-up now, and the last 
application moused over has its name showing above where it is located on the Dock.

Here's what I wrote in the Apple report on this last hang: Testing (for Bugzilla report) whether Firefox 
1.0.6 would quit after visiting various sites. It seems to be an intermittent problem now. This time I 
quit, but Firefox stayed open until I went back and clicked on 2 or 3 menu bar items. When I went back 
to Safari, the "unexpectedly quit" alert came up.

This seems to happen fairly often to me as of Firefox 1.0.6 when quitting with
multiple tabs open.  I'm running OS X 10.4.2.  The windows will close but the
menu bar stays, and Force Quit must be used to kill it.  1.0.7 hasn't fixed it.

Extensions:

Adblock v5 d2 nightly 39
Copy Plain Text 0.3.1
BugMeNot 0.7
Open Java Console 0.8

I also get this bug. I run Mac OS X 10.3.9 with 768 mb ram, and Firefox 1.5. I can never quit Firefox normally, I have to force quit it every single time!

Same exact problem. When I go to firefox -> quit firefox, only one window closes. If I do it again another window closes. So with one window open I have to quit firefox twice to have it actually quit. If I only quit once I still have full functionality with firefox. I can go the the firefox menu and create a new window etc. Very annoying, I run firefox 1.5.0.1 on mac os x. (10.3.9).

I also have this bug.  I run Firefox 2.0.03 on a mac os x version 10.4.9.
Firefox only shuts down completely if I force quit, otherwise the menu bar stays up.

I'm running 10.4.9 and FF 2.0.0.3 now and it quits normally now. I had avoided it for several months, forgot about this problem, then noticed in VersionTracker that a new version was out. So I upgraded and, as I said, forgot that this had been a problem until I got this notice. In terms of things that have changed (other than version of OS) since I first posted this bug, for some reason my FireWire drives will not mount ("bus resets in last 10 seconds"), but I can't imagine that this was or is in any way related to this bug.

I have a similar problem with Windows XP and FF 2.0.0.4. After running Firefox for couple of hours the web pages stop to load. If you try to close Firefox it shuts the window but Firefox will remain in running processes list and you can't shut it down from there. New instances of Firefox can't be started. Only solution is to boot the computer.

Only addon I use is RefControl 0.8.9

I wish I knew how to quit you, Firefox.

(Works for me, too)

It's 2016 in few hours and annoying Firefox won't quit. I tried trashing the whole app, it sticks in there, no matter what. Aaaaargh!
