firefox remain active in windows task manager after closing

I open only 1 firefox window & when I close yet I see multiple entries in task manager even after closing the firefox.
using latest FF 2.0.0.3

Could it be due to some hostile extension?
I found this link & trying to scan the system
*kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox.exe_always_open

I face the problem too... FireFox 1.5 was far better, this 2.0 version is giving hell lot of a trouble.. !!

Yah, 1.5 was better.
If Firefox is still in the task manager, opening Firefox again won't work. I have to manually shutdown that process....

Yeah me too face this problem. But not only with FF but also with WinAmp and Nero.
And I dont like closing them by the task manager.

But i didn't found a solution yet.

I scanned my C drive & could not find any trojan with AVG, I need to try other things mentioned in that linked page.
