I have had several instances where tabs have failed to load or are in a constant state of fetching, when you close firefox, it does not close and if you try to reopen firefox 3 the system states that it is already running. You have to go into the task manager to kill the application before firefox will start. Also, it retains all prior data of the closed windows.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.close firefox while tabs are actively loading
2.
3.

It is very interesting that there are numerous reports of this problem here and yet NO ONE cares enough to provide a solution. So much for the "helpful" people at Firefox.
