Firefox issue.

[Gamer_T]

This is the first time in years I've ever had issues with Firefox.

Every time I close it and try to reopen it, it says it's still running and I have to go into task manager and end the process. On some websites it will also just crash out, mainly facebook. But these sites work fine in I.E.

Anyone else been having firefox issues recently? I've tried reinstalling etc but it hasn't fixed anything.

re-installing won't do anything because it doesn't touch your profile - maybe something is lurking in there that is causing the problem. start firefox with a clean profile and see how you get on.

yea i have this issue, more so with ff3. when i close down ff it will climb to 100% cpu, and sit there for a good 5 minutes before closing.
its to do with saving your browser cache, cookies, bookmarks, etc. if you tell ff to save your browsing history when you close.
