Close Browser getting stuck Firefox

Posted on by PIXOT

Hello,

I have just updated Firefox, PA Extension and PAD, and for some reason, each time I have a "Close Web Browser" action, the action itself is done imediatly but the code gets struck on it for like 20 seconds and moves to next action.

Anyone else has this issue?

Hello, @PIXOT .
Has it been resolved?
I had the same issue in Firefox, but it was fixed with an update? I have no problem.
Now, on a different PC, it takes 20seconds - one minute for the browser to close in Chrome.

It is really weird. The code works fine on my Dev laptop, but has this annoying bug when running on Azure. What worked for me in the past was just to downgrade it, but now I had to do some code updates, and here goes again the same issue.
Personal advise, do not use the Close Browser, just taskill it or click on UI (x button). This will never fail you.
Best regards,
Florin

u can use a workaround with a powershell action:
Stop-Process -Name "firefox" -Force
or if u want a little more control:
# Check if Firefox is running $firefoxProcess = Get-Process -Name "firefox" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($firefoxProcess) { # Firefox is running, so close it Stop-Process -Name "firefox" -Force Write-Host "Firefox has been closed." } else { # Firefox is not running Write-Host "Firefox is not running." }

hope it helps 😊
