Subject: "Sticking" instances of OO in Task Manager

For years, OpenOffice was, I thought, the "canary in the coal mine" for a 
needed restart of my computer. When OO files stopped opening I knew it was time 
for a restart. Last year, due to a similar problem with Firefox on a new 
computer, I learned that if I opened Task Manager, found OpenOffice and saw 
several instances of OO listed, I could select one, press the End Task button, 
and it and sometimes a couple more would close. I continued until all OO files 
were closed. Then I could open the needed OO files without restarting.

Last year I had a very similar problem with Firefox for 2 or 3 months after 
getting the new computer. Then during a check, the problem was suddenly gone 
and Firefox now works well. I wonder what causes this problem of various 
instances of OO, why they "stick" in the Task Manager until no more instances 
can be opened, and if there is something I can do (or stop doing) to cure that 
"sticky" problem?
