Firefox Will Not Close
With my computer running under 64 bit Windows 7, if I have an instance of Firefox running within Sandboxie 5.04 and then invoke another instance of Firefox running outside of Sandboxie, I will not be able to close Firefox properly. Task Manager will show that the Firefox process is still running after I attempt to close both instances of Firefox, and then a new instance of Firefox will not open. Instead Firefox will complain that it is already running and that I need to close it first. Currently the only persistent remedy that I have found is to uninstall and then reinstall Sandboxie.

Re: Firefox Will Not Close
You can force close FF several ways. You can see if FF is running in SBIE in Sandboxie Control > Program view and right click terminate program on FF, Deleting contents will also force close any program.
If you have "clear history upon FF closing" configured in FF, it will cause FF to hang when Sandboxed.
Uninstalling SBIE is a nuclear option...Not sure why you'd need to do that?
Also, any particular addons installed? Antivirus? Sometimes they will hold up FF.
