Firefox quit but my mac says it's still open

I was using Firefox when it just quit and the App store opened up in it's place. When I click on the Firefox icon in my dock I get this message.

User uploaded file

The icon in the dock does not have the black dot indicator that shows the app is open. Going to the force quit menu I do not see Firefox. What's up?


Thanks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS Sierra (10.12.3), Touchbar

That’s something that Firefox sometimes does...

You could launch Activity Monitor and see if you can find some hunk of Firefox still running. If not, it’s probably a locked profile, sedondary to the crash Otherwise, consider a reboot.
