Troubleshooting hang on close?

I'm running Seamonkey on Windows 8.1 64-bit, with 8 GB RAM. It never closes cleanly, whenever I close it, it winds up remaining in memory consuming about 460 MB or so, and I have to kill the process. Consequently, none of the 'remember setting on next startup' features work, i.e. reopening
