When I exit the browser, what is "Loading..."

I just installed FF mobile browser and was trying it to see what I thought of it. (navigation was a mystery but that's another story). I installed 4 addons (Adblock Edge, Quit Now, Home LInks, Ghostery). I was exiting and re-opening frequently. Changing settings and browsing customizations. I didn't do much actual internet browsing. Twice in the multi-session sequences, I saw "Loading..." upon quiting. The first time, I chalked it up to add-ons installing (although I think they did not require restart), but the 2nd time I saw "Loading...", it made me uncomfortable about what was going on behind my back. So I uninstalled it.

Any ideas?

Hi Wendy444,

Where you using the addon Quit Now button when you saw "Loading..."?

I tried the Adblock Edge as well and sometimes it would cause Firefox to stop running. It may also be the list that is selected that may be blocking some sites. Does this happen on a fresh install? If so it most likely is not the add on.
