Firefox does not automatically shut down when I turn off my computer. It used to before this latest Firefox upgrade.

In the past, when I shut my computer down, Firefox would automatically close. Now, Firefox has problems closing at shut down. This happens every time I shut off my computer. I'm using Windows XP pro on a desktop.

In my case the problem was with the AVG Safe Search Extension. Go to tools->add-ons->Extensions and Disable AVG Safe search if it's there. There seems to be a compatibility issue with the latest version of firefox.

Please reply if the above works for you so firefox can address the issue.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 Media Center Edition.

Yep, that did it. Thanks for that tip.

However, the other issue is that whenever I start Firefox, the tabs I had open when I shut down do not automatically load. Again, this did not happen before the latest Firefox upgrade.

I have to say that I like the idea of AVG watching my back against malicious links, and not that it's disabled I'm concerned about viruses. Or should I be?

Thanks again for the help.
