Firefox stops working if the Laptop goes to sleep or stand by.
Since the last 1 month have started to get a weird issue on Firefox. Have auto update turned on, so not sure which version the issue started occurring.
Every time the screen turns off, computer goes to stand by or sleep, Firefox stops working. The only option is to restart the computer.
The browser would continue to respond, but it would not connect to internet, basically it does not do anything. Try closing the browser and you would see it closes OK, but the process won't shut down.
Try Launching again, and it would say "FF is already running and option "Close Firefox"", but it won't be able to close firefox. Try killing the process and that won't work either.
Result is I have to restart the PC 4 to 5 times a day because FF just would not work and I do not feel comfortable using other browsers.
