Windows 10: Firefox being trash as usual

All of sudden I cant open firefox, im getting the message "firefox is already running but is not responding, the old process must be closed to open a new window"

The problem is that process will not end, theres 3 tasks of firefox open for some reason and 2 will end but one remains and will not close. I followed a tutorial online to restart and delete the parent.lock in the firefox profile folder and then restart and this works but upon the second reboot the problem returns once again. Why is it doing this and how do I fix this permanently?

New FF - passwords


Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):
