12.2 is up to date and am running the Firefox from Slackbuilds.
There was an update to FF a few months ago.
Since then FF "hangs" when I close it out.
It does seem to shut down better from the home page instead of whatever site I happen to be on at the time of shutting down.
I do have a few addons to FF but they were there before the update with no issues.
The addons are Gmarks [disabled], Rankchecker, Scribefire, SEO for FF [disabled], SEO Toolbar, Weatherbug and Web Developer.
I haven't done any "fixes" so I'm fairly certain I didn't create my own problem.
Anyone else having this issue?
Not sure if this applies to FF 3, but it does to FF 3.5+...
I have seen this. I think it has to do with the SQL db finishing up transactions/updating, etc. This manages your bookmarks, history, etc. You might need to "vacuum" the db once in a while if it is quite large...or just let it do its thing. It should only hang a few seconds at most.
I have one computer that does this, and most of the time I just shutdown the box regardless of whether or not FF is ready. That is why you have crash handling, right :-p
It should not do this with a fresh profile. If that is the case then it must be something else.
