Firefox doesn't force quit in El Capitan

Hello

Firefox does sometimes quit or force quit. When that happens, I can't shut down my computer without unplugging. A way to solve this problem? KS

Thank you!

If you hold down the power button for an extended period, you can force a shutdown.

Try removing and then reinstalling Firefox.

    9 out of 10 times when I close Firefox, it freezes and I have to do a Force Quit. Without rhyme or reason, ab 1 out of 10 times it closes as it should without a problem. This issue arose as a result of the latest update of Firefox.

    I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    It is most likely a problem of Add on.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    Since upgrade my iMac to El Capitan, Lightroom CC abandonment causes the death spinning beachball. The only way out is a force quite.

    Several people have reported this bug on the Adobe official feedback forum: 2015.2 Lightroom: depends on quit smoking. There are two workaround solutions that have worked for some in this topic:

    -Uncheck the preferences > General > show Add Photos screen.

    -Reset the preferences of LR: reset the lightroom - updated - Lightroom Forums preferences file

    Please add to this bug to your vote report, details of your question, and if either of these two solutions helped you. Only he that will give priority to slightly more likely Adobe will make a fix.

  • With the help of Yosemite 10.10.5 and safari will not leave for me to restart. Have you tried all the option force quit I know? Any suggestions?

    I can't open or close safari when I try to quit he said its opening, but when I try to use it - it is not opening or answer. Safari is not rich in the dock as it should be when opened can not restart normally as safari is open. Force quit won't go beyond that. I'm stuck. Help!

    If forced to leave in the Apple menu doesn't do nothing I guess you will have to hard reboot: press and hold the power switch up to the farm of Mac down, gives him a minute or two for the disc to spin down and then starts normally with the power button.

    Do you think day as Backup just in case the problem is a sign of something bigger than just a glitch in Safari?
