Firefox updated today. Then I uninstalled Adobe add-in which had been disabled by Firefox previously. I downloaded & installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer (26.0.0.151), which Firefox allowed to activate just fine. I later tried to shutdown Firefox (File| Exit) and was unable to do so; clicking the X in upper right hand corner did not work either. I used Task Manager to close Firefox, reopened it and disabled Flashplayer. Firefox still wouldn't close normally. I then loaded Firefox in Safe Mode and then was able to close it using the X from the upper right hand corner...

I don't think Adobe caused the problem, but I was able to exit in Safe Mode, which turned everything off.

Prior to this latest Firefox update I hadn't had any problem with exiting the browser.

Obviously, I can't keep using Task Manager to exit Firefox all the time... I'm at a bit of a loss here.

Disabling Tab Mix Plus fixed the problem with exiting Firefox 55.0.2 but then I didn't have its functionality.

So, I installed the latest development build of Tab Mix Plus 0.5.0.4pre.170818a1 and it worked just find --and-- does not have the problem of preventing Firefox from closing normally.

Thanx for getting me on the right track!

Issues were reported with Tab Mix Plus. Disable it and test Firefox.
