McNipz Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I have this problem where firefox.exe keeps loading in my processes. Its there when I start up windows and when I try to force quit firefox it pops back up a few seconds later. When I open firefox normally, i would have 2 firefox.exe processes. I renamed the firefox.exe and the problem stopped, so its not a virus or anything. I dont have the firefox preloader either. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, doing a repair windows xp install, I just cannot figure out what that annoyance is. It's not like it uses much memory but still... when I'm not using it I want it closed, I like to keep as much resources free when I'm gaming. Anyone know what the problem is?
