The Windows Task Manager must be activated and 'firefox.exe' must be ended with 'end process'. THEN FireFox will start. The problem is now expected but is somewhat random. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Exit FireFox 2.Open Windows Task Manager 3.Observe if firefox.exe is active Actual Results: If FireFox will not open, I do 'Ctrl,Alt,Delete' to open WTM, select 'firefox.exe', 'end process' and repeat 'start' Expected Results: It should have exited FireFox totally so that it is not running after 'Close'.
