I have a windows process that executes a website in Firefox. This website runs each morning and sends an email out. I used Firefox for this process because it supports a browser withdraw command. The window withdraws appropriately but Firefox remains running as a task in windows 8. Because the process remaining running, when the task kicks off again, firefox will not open. How do you stop firefox from remaining as a running task after the browser closes?
