Firefox won't close. The icon is there on the Bar, but putting the arrow over the icon brings up the last page open, which won't close (using the X in the upper right corner), or open on the screen, (either by click or double-click).

Chosen solution

Try force closing it by pressing control+alt+delete and finding the firefox.exe process, right clicking it, and clicking force close.

That should resolve it.
