how do I stop Firefox from being open when my Android phone is not in use
Every time I closeout my Android phone in other words when I put it to sleep but not off the problem is when I open it up again to use it Firefox is running and therefore has used some of my battery power. I don't leave Firefox running when I put the phone to sleep. how do I stop this from happening?

I don't want to quite firefox on my android - I just want to stop it from always being open. Every time I pick up my phone to use it Firefox is open and I have to close it before I can use my phone. Meanwhile, it is using my battery power too fast.
Greetings!
On Android 4 and higher, you can close Firefox or any other app from the app switch screen.
- Ice Cream Sandwich: long press on the home button.
- Jelly Bean: tap on the app switch button
, or a square on the taskbar.
- Some devices: double tap on home or swipe down from top of screen
If you need a menu item, you can install an add-on like the QuitNow add-on to do that. Here's how to install an add-on to add Quit back.
Although if it is opening check your phone for malware, like it shouldn't come up unless you left it open, on your screen, when you pressed the power button or let it timeout into sleep.
