Every time I use Firefox recently (last 5 days or so), I can no longer use Command+Q or File ->Quit to exit the program. I must "Force Quit" (Option+Command+Esc) to exit.

I'm using: [A] iMac OS X El Capitain version 10.11.6 (15G21013) and [B] Firefox Quantum 61.0 (64-bit).

Thank you for your help!

Hi, possibly a corrupted file. To fix it your going to have to install another time or do a refresh.

Try to close all open windows and start with a new window to see if that works.

You can check the Browser Console for error messages.
