    firefox restart not working


    ok when i install an add on or theme i have to restart ff for installation to complete. when i click restart ff it doesn't restart when i start ff manually,
    install is not complete.
    the only way i can get it to complete is to restart pc whic obviously is a pain

    Well i found a way to fix it, though its not pretty. I had to totally uninstall firefox and reinstall it, I did a clean install so everything was gone. Addons install perfectly now, hope this helps.
