1. Sometimes Firefox displays a message "Firefox is still running" but there is no evidence that this is true. 2. But, Firefox does not show up in "control-alternate-delete" to bring up Task Master in Windows 7. 3. There does not seem to be any means to stop Firefox and to re-start Firefox without a complete Re-start of the PC. 4. The mouse still works and the PC responds but there is no response from Firefox except the message "Firefox is still running..... etc. 5. How to stop Firefox, shutdown Firefox without a complete reboot/restart?

Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile. It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem. Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.
