When FireFox is closed down, many times the 'foxfire.exe' continues to be active which prevents a 'start'. The Windows Task Manager must be activated and 'firefox.exe' must be ended with 'end process'. THEN FireFox will start. The problem is now expected but is somewhat random.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Exit FireFox
2.Open Windows Task Manager
3.Observe if firefox.exe is active

Actual Results:  
If FireFox will not open, I do 'Ctrl,Alt,Delete' to open WTM, select 'firefox.exe', 'end process' and repeat 'start'

Expected Results:  
It should have exited FireFox totally so that it is not running after 'Close'.
