When I would open a link in an e-mail in Thunderbird, it creates an instance of Firefox running in the background that is some how different and it is these instances that prevent Firefox from reopening. I did a lot of testing and in my case, the primary culprit seems to be Thunderbird. Even with as many as 8 instances of Chrome running in the background, I can always open Chrome. The issue of multiple instances of Firefox running as a Background process and then not being able to reopen Firefox until I closed the instances running in the Background has since driven me to using Google Chrome as my default browser. I do not believe that it was caused primarily by Malwarebytes any longer. I thought I had this problem under control by adding exclusions for Firefox, but the problem continued. The ONLY change I did was to install Malewarebytes 3 prior to this happening to Firefox & Chrome.Īlso I don't have any Norton Products and think it probably conflicts with Piriform CCcleaner or maybe Spybot.
Hope this is fixed soon - I really want CCcleaner/Spybot to run concurrently with Malewarebytes as they have done flawlessly with previous Malewarebytes version. One of the reasons I installed upgraded to Malewarebytes 3 from previous registered version was the "Ransomeware" addition.ĭoes excluding Firefox & Chrome negate the benefits of this feature?
I just turned off Settings/Protection in Malewarebytes 3 for Firefox & Chrome per previous suggestions and will let you know if this works. But it still happens.Īlso Chrome has failed to load the top menus a couple of times and I have to reboot and then it works, but has not had processes remaining in Task Manager after I close like Firefox does. It happens less when I EXIT out of Firefox as opposed to just hitting the X in the right corner. I am having the same problem with Malwarebytes 3.0 and Firefox 32 on Windows 7-64bit Ultimate remaining in task manager after exiting.
