this happens most but not all of the time. I close Firefox and then cannot reopen it without going into taskmaster and highlighting Firefox and clicking "end task." Also related i think to this problem is that often when i am on a website using firefox as my web browser and there is a link to click on, nothing happens when i click on the link. I do not have this problem if i use Google Chrome for my web browser. I am running Windows 8 on a new computer but i had this problem develop in the past 2 months on my old computer before i switched to the new one.

  • Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the Task Manager.
  • Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
