Firestorm always hangs on exit

Hello,
This has been happening for a long time and am wondering if others have a solution for it. Every time I exit Firestorm, it does not quit. I have to kill the Firestorm application manually. Any tips on how to deal with this? :?

..I assume you've tried the obvious, uninstlling firestorm, and reinstalling the recommended (or latest) version ?

I seem to vaguely remember having the issue some time back, but can't remember what I did to repair it, I either reinstalled the software, repaired the whole windows user id(copy all user files/settings to a new user, delete the old user login ID, rename the new ID - it works a lot like a format without the pain but is not trivial), or reinstalled windows. Clear cache ? Google firestorm viewer crash on exit ? Sorry that's not much help.

I had that happening early on as well. As I recall it simply went away after installing the latest version and I haven't seen it since.

What Dundridge said, or for the less technical (AKA me): uninstall FS, remove all files that have FS data in them, and they're in a surprising number of locations, and do a clean reinstall of the most recent OS complaint version. After that, clear cache frequently in all viewers you're using. PITA, yah.
