I added "Palemoon.exe" to ProcessHacker (which is always running in my tray) process notification system a long time ago exactly for the reason Moonchild mentioned above: occasionally the browser might take a while to clean after itself after telling it to shutdown, and my biggest fear is to run into somesort of a race condition where I start a new instance of the browser before the previous instance exited cleanly, and lose any of the permanent data storage I value so much (tabs, cookies, login data, etc).
Granted, I don't think I have seen recent-ish (as in 5~7yrs) iterations of palemoon taking extraordinaire time to shutdown, but my browsing habits are fairly mundane. YMMV.
