Sometimes when I Close Firefox the actual window closes but Firefox.32 continues running in my Services. So what I get is I close my web browser and when I go to reopen it I get an error message saying it is already running. I rarely shut my system down (other than updates and program installs which require it) but I do open and close firefox multiple times a day. System: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (not over clocked) 8 GB Ram Hitachi 1TB 7200 rpm HDD 

I have no major issue with this its easily fixed just CTRL+ALT+DEL then to services in my task manager and stop the service, I was just wondering why it does this and if it can be fixed?
