When I close my firefox browser and I go into task manager / processes I notice that it is still running and eating up a chunk of memory. I've uninstalled it and clean installed the current version, but problem still happens. Does anyone have any ideas?
lbteixe, sure it's Firefox running? Several things run in the background depending on configuration.

to make sure all is on purpose. Some things get started that we don't want/need.
