firefox stays running after exit

Hi All

If I close ff and then the papps menu and click the windows icon to remove my device I get a message that the device is still being used. If I do the same thing a second time everything goes normally. No ff process (or any other papps proc that I can see) shows in the task manager after exiting ff, but this does not happen if I use the papps menu but not ff.

A minor annoyance but would even just like to know what causes it.

Ta!

Few Seconds

Firefox, after it is closed, takes a couple seconds to actually shut down... writing its final state to the drive, etc. This will take a little longer on a slower drive. The FirefoxPortable.exe launcher will then wait 2 seconds to ensure it is not restarting (in the case of installing a new extension or theme and clicking restart) before closing down and cleaning up.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

No probs then. Cheers John, I'll have to slow down my ultra fast close and exit! Wink
