Mozilla does not close entirely on my computer. All the ff windows are closed, but the Firefox process is still running. (push alt-ctrl-del and choose taskmanager. Under the tab processes a process called "Firefox *32" will still be visible.) After I manually kill the Firfox process it can start again. I have a dutch language Windows 7 home premium 64 bits and Firefox 4.01 installed.

I disabled the Silverlight plugin, Windows live photo gallery plugin and Google Earth plugin. After that the problem seemed solved. Now I reenabled them all 3 and the problem seems to have disappeared.

But after I did that I have a new problem when I open the bookmark window (Ctrl+Shift+B) and close all the other windows. When I click on a bookmark and open a window like that, a new window will open with the link in the first tab. But it will also reopen all the tabs that were in the last window closed.

This is totally different. So I will make a new entry for it.
