The problem is that the process doesn't quit when I kill the window (hit
the "x" on the upper right edge of the frame -- which it used to do).
Instead, I have to choose File->Quit from the Firefox menu. The process
should die when I kill the window. I don't want to start a second
instantiation or open a second window. I want the program to stop when
kill the window, so that when I start the program a day later it doesn't
crash because of a process that is no longer attached to an existing
window.

Mozilla's advice is:
"Firefox refuses to close using red X; have to right click on screen
bottom to close"

This specifically says "win XP" but I have seen others say this aboutit
in Linux also.
Good luck.
