Hi Guys,

Anyone know what is causing and how to stop an 'XPCOM: Event received -
unable to close' error on shutting down the computer after using FF 2?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Dave

I'm getting the same thing. It only happens after I run Firefox. If I
shut down without using Firefox 2.0 then it's doesn't happen. So I
deduct it's Firefox 2.0 that is causing the problem.

I unistalled Firefox 2.0 and reinstalled Firefox 1.5

does it happen when Firefox is running under safe mode ?
To start Firefox in safe mode : Start > Programs>Firefox[safe mode]

Do you have any extensions that may be preventing FX from closing cleanly?

Try disabling them one-by-one.

In Fx1.5.0.7 was GoogleBar from google caused that beavior, was related
to the safe browsing of the toolbar.

In Fx2.0 exist an antiphishing feature related to google, disable it or
change to "use download list", plus if you use Googlebar disable the
safebrowsing feature from the toolbar

Just wondering: are you on Windows 98?

Thanks for all your help Guys. I think I've nailed it down to a Net Usage
Meter extension. When an update became available for it (and that didn't
take long), I installed it, and part of the literature on the site mentioned
the XPCOM software that it needs to work to grab the data from your ISP.

Anyways, the update to the extension seemed to stop the shutdown error.

Thanks for all your help, and I hope this also may help anyone else in the
same boat,

Cheers,

Dave
