firefox will not close on mac
Hi there, I was attempting to restart my macbook pro. for some reason Firefox will not shut down, thus preventing the computer shuting down. the Firefox icon on the dock still shows the little black dot indicating it is open. There are no Fire fox windows open and i have tryed to force quit the program with no luck and I have tried using shutdown/restart commands in Terminal.
macOS: 10.10.5
Firfox: 57.0,4
