Do you use FF yourself ? -- if there's only  1  tab open & you kill it,
it kills the whole FF job too.  That's usually the circumstance :
I've finished reading 'Guardian' (eg) & am doing something else,
but the fan is working busily, wearing itself out & irritating me ;
when I kill FF -- however I do it -- everything calms down.
No, I'm not wasting my time complaining to the Guardian IT dept ...
