I wonder if this old Portable topic: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=322 might describe/explain/answer your problem?

Re: Process still in use after shutdown!
From Moonchild: "the portable launcher waits for Pale Moon to completely shut down before it terminates itself (to prevent improper cleanup and to run some maintenance tasks after the program has run)"
Sometimes for tests i use PM desktop and PM portable together, it happens only when PM desktop is always in use so now i understand the portable launcher confuses the two that's why! probably by design also... another reason I think this portable version should be called only semi-portable. Thank you for enlightening me Blacklab.

Re: Process still in use after shutdown!
The portable version is portable, not "semi-portable". A portable piece of software allows for you to "take it with you" on removable media without needing to install anything on host computers, and that is what Pale Moon Portable does, exactly. Not just half.
The fact that the launcher keeps running until all palemoon.exe processes have closed is a safeguard, so the after-run maintenance file handling isn't started until Pale Moon is no longer running, so yes, this is very much by design, to prevent data corruption, incomplete backups of passwords and bookmarks, etc.
You may be confusing "portable" with "virtualized" here.

Re: Process still in use after shutdown!
You're totally right, but i have already constated another interferences between both in the past. I thinked to open a thread in requests to ask after a virtualized version but i have no much hope... i know somewhere else it exist however... i do not know if it is so difficult to do, maybe i'll try to make one myself when i have time...Moonchild wrote:You may be confusing "portable" with "virtualized" here.
Re: Process still in use after shutdown!
As long as you keep in mind that you can only use the resulting virtualized application for your own personal use.maybe i'll try to make one myself when i have time...

For my own pleasure and my personal satisfaction don't worry, btw people should know it's not prudent to use a browser downloaded anywhere!
