I have the same problem. I am running windows XP. After browsing the internet and shutting down firefox3.0.1, firefox continues to run in the background. I have to restart my computer to get firefox to work. Did not have this problem with firefox2.

do you still see this issue in Firefox 3.6 started in safe mode?
