I have made the same observation, but normally it disappears after a while. It can take longer depending on the pages yo visited or the speed of your drive. It can take up to 30 sec on a slow drive and lots of opened tabs.

it is in taskmanager until i terminate it. if i doesn't kill it, it runs for ever..
(i've waited for hours)
If you take a look in your system tray, do you see a firefox icon still?
If so, close that instance and see if it fixes your issue.
there is no icon in my system tray. i close firefox normally like everytime. but "sometimes" -not everytime- it doesn't close properly.
Ok, next: in your screenshot, there's two plugin-container.exe processes. They may be the culprit.
i hate it. It's usually the last thing to go. I wish I knew which plugin was always keeping it on late during shutdown!
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
There is most likely a misbehaving add-on or local plugin that is running a function during closing. Can you try running Firefox in safe mode without add-ons and plugins and close it?
hey thanks for help, but you should read first. I said it sometimes happens. not every time. maybe twice a month.
When you said "sometimes", I had taken that as more regularly than once a fortnight. This is new information. Anyway, you can try it for a while and see if it works.
