My small knowledge of programming in C and Assembler indicates that it
*should* be unlikely to have different things happen depending on which
exit you choose.  The usual rule is to make 1 exit routine ( the code
that cleans up memory and releases it back to the system etc.) Though a
few years ago I was operating a Unix box for the Navy and there was a
problem that if a program was exited using the window widget ( the one
in the left of the title bar ) than that program wouldn't release memory
and eventually the machine would crash, so yeah I guess it's possible.

But specifically no I haven't seen any problem though I nearly always
use the X widget, occasionally I use the File Menu, I got out of the
habit of using the window widget - don't think I've used it at all since
the trouble I mentioned on UNIX.

Actually, I'm a heavy keyboard user, so I usually Alt-F4. But I've
tried with the windows widget and also with File-Quit. Reproducable
every time (requiring a system restart).

Have you tried looking for any lock files that FFox uses, perhaps one is
left open causing your problem? how common a problem is it for you?  Has
it always been the same?  Of course there could be any number of plugins
or add-ons that might cause you problems too.  You might try making sure
you have 1 page with a simple file or an about:blank page before you
shut down, see if the problem goes away.

No lock files that I could find, at least not the standard Fx
lockfile. I'll start disabling extensions, but as I haven't added any
recently, I doubt that is the problem. I also don't have Fx nor the
extensions automatically update.
