It does this every time, I can open Firefox then when I close it, it seems to be closed but I can't re-open it as it says it is already running and I can only do a forced shutdown on my PC

you can set Firefox NOT to clear history on close

  • The image "new fx menu" does not exist. -> Options -> Privacy > Firefox will (Remember History)

One potential fix is now in the very recent Firefox Beta 30b8 Initial reports suggest this fixes the issue. (Bug1005487#c38) If you have been suffering from this problem and want a fix now instead of in a few weeks time you may wish to download and install the Beta version of Firefox.

The beta version is effectively a release candidate but is only intended for advanced users or testers. I would be interested to hear feedback from those of you that do test this out.

Beta version download

P.S.

If you should install Firefox beta please take care to NOT use any option to remove personal information. Do NOT remove the Firefox profile,the beta should install over the top of the Release version, there is normally no need even to uninstall the Release first.
