I am using FireFox version 3.0.10 on Vista Home Premium operating system.
I start FireFox and it runs normally, but when I close (exit) the program it stays in memory and can not be removed using windows task manager.
The only thing that I can do is reboot windows to remove FireFox from memory.

Starting FireFox again then I am back with the issue of FireFox staying in memory even after exiting the program normally.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Program should have closed and removed itself from memory.

So, a firefox process is still there? Does it ever leave, or does it stay forever? How about when you start firefox in safe mode? http://support.mozilla.com/kb/safe+Mode
