I have a windows process that executes a website in Firefox. This website runs each morning and sends an email out. I used Firefox for this process because it supports a browser withdraw command. The window withdraws appropriately but Firefox remains running as a task in windows 8. Because the process remaining running, when the task kicks off again, firefox will not open. How do you stop firefox from remaining as a running task after the browser closes?

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix That last step is what I was thinking could help, manually closing it in the task manager.
