ok , I get a message when I go to shut down and is says a firefox program is still running, also if I go to change to a different site it will not let me go unless I reboot my computer. the only way I can go to another site is to bring up another firefox page. this causes me to stay in the first window the whole time I am using the computer, How the heck do I close out that bin that stays running. PLEASE

Hi whoamiasshole- I would recommend forcing Firefox to quit, and then reboot the computer. If this a recurring problem I would first suggest upgrading to the latest version of Firefox here:

Hope that helps.
