Firefox frequently refuses to close, each time forcing me to reboot. What can I do to correct this?

This happens two or three times a session on line, after I have closed a program and seek to open a different one. I receive error messages advising me that Firefox is still running and that I must either close it out or restart my computer.

You can check out the Hang at exit portion of Firefox Hangs and see if any of those things apply in your case.
