Was there something on the website that needed to get installed, like a plug-in, and required that Firefox be closed to finished the installation? From your post, it looks like you didn't close it, only that it continually asks.

Either that, or you got some virus, of which you should go download a free anti-virus program to clean it up.

If it is an internal error with Firefox itself, would reinstalling it help?

i fear we won't be able to fix your firefox/computer from here =(
if you really need to read *that* tuto, maybe just printing it on paper (or temporarily using another browser) could help...
I'd try to disable flashplayers and javascript execution otherwise.

if your running microsoft windows, and firefox wants to restart because it's just installed a patch, try exiting all processes named "Firefox.exe" with the taskmanager (ctrl+alt+del).
I used to have that problem for some reason.

My Firefox was crashing a lot after the last couple of updates, but it seems a lot better since I cleared the data (Tools|Clear Private Data...). Maybe there was something old in there it no longer liked.
