Not closing of Firefox

When you exit Firefox, I get a message saying that you must close firefox but I have already left the application. If I turned off the PC and put back me in, Firefox allows me to get back in. If I don't stop I get the message and cannot get back into Firefox. I have a Dell Inspiron with Vista

Hello

Please try Firefox via file (Alt + F) to quit > exit or click the Firefox button in the top left and out and wait a few seconds. Some audio and video plugins or modules may delay the process in a few more seconds. Also after leaving Firefox, try opening the task (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) Manager, click the processes tab and right click on plugincontainer.exe and end task and see if it helps.

  • Recent history was not cleared when Firefox is closed

    I am currently using Firefox 23.0.1. (latest version)

    I activated the function to clear history when Firefox closes. (Use the custom settings for history in the privacy settings) where I checked all options in the settings.

    However, once I close, recent history cannot be erased when I re - open Firefox!

    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).

    • Open the menu help 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.

    When you exit Firefox, you click on the X on the window or the File > Exit button?

    Coming out to help the File > Exit button will allow Firefox close completely and correctly and will give it the time to delete the history.

  • How to keep certain cookies are removed from the closing of Firefox

    Hello

    I wonder how to keep cookies some website when Firefox is closed, for example, I've spent some time on www.kongregate.com with that is a flash games site and you may suspect that I like to keep my progress of these games, for future visits, however, whenever I close Firefox it automatically deletes the files of "C:\Users\ < I > \AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash #SharedObjects\ #------assets.kongregate.com------." that file saved kongregate games and I want to keep that, anyway, I'll post a list of my privacy settings to help you help me achieve what I write here everything as 'ON' mean that the box has check and 'OFF' that is not:

    Follow-up:

    -Say the sites that I don't want to be tracked - SUITE

    History:

    -Conservation rules: use the custom settings for history

    -Always use private browsing - OFF mode

    N ' forget not my browsing and download history - OFF

    N ' forget to search and form history - OFF

    -Accept cookies - SUITE (I added www.kongregate.com as *www.kongregate.com* to the list of exceptions with the option 'Allow')

    -Accept third party cookies - SUITE

    -Keep until: I close Firefox

    -Clear history when Firefox closes - SUITE

    Address bar:

    -When using the location bar, suggest: nothing

    Options for 'clear history of Firefox closing. "

    When I quit Firefox, it must automatically clear all:

    History:

    -L' browsing history - SUITE

    -Download history - SUITE

    -Form & Search History - SUITE

    -Cookies - On (typo corrected)

    -Active connections - OFF

    -Cache - SUITE

    Data:

    -Passwords - saved offshore

    -OFF site preferences-

    -DownThemAll! History & queue - OFF (not that matters of it)

    -Data from the offline Web site - OFF

    Here's my current settings which I think should allow me to keep the cookies from kongregate while other cookies are deleted, but if this isn't the case, please tell me which options should be set at what to me keep cookies of kongregate, if it is not possible to have that then please suggest me a few extensions that would allow me to keep the cookies to kongregate when deleting others.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why you wrote above: Cookies - OFF If you were clear cookies.
    Clear cookies that also erase cookies (including Flash local storage), so I have say that if cookies have been included in this list.
    That's why I posted to check in safe mode because it would be another possibility.

    To summarize:

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not delete Cookies
    • do not delete Site preferences

    Deletion of cookies will delete all specified (selected) cookies, including cookies that have an exception permit.

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    Allow all cookies expire when you close Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Keep until the": "closing of Firefox".

    To allow an exception for those you want to keep.

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions."
  • I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen.

    I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen, so cannot use any of the functions it controls. I don't have the round symbol of Firefox, but when I right click or click on it, I get only the menu for mazimizing, minimizing or closing the application. I can't find all the information on the site of Mozuilla on how to solve this problem and would welcome any advice I can get. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional. Thank you.

    You probably have your active Menu bar. I think you can use one or the other. To activate your favicon Orange Firefox, right-click on the empty upper part of the browser (next to your tabs) and uncheck the menu bar. I hope this helps.
