Firefox version 82 won't close to desktop. It hangs to a blank page. When I check taskmanager it is not running. But if I keep trying to re-open it will sometimes eventually tell me it is already running. Anyone have any ideas? It is my default browser on a windows 10 64-bit system.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
