    Now, when I try to shutdown my iMac it just goes black and then returns to the login screen with a brief black screen, in several languages (Chinese being one of them), that 'You have restarted your computer.....'

    If this is the screen you’re seeing, and it’s happening repeatedly, it sounds like you may have a hardware issue. Maybe a faulty RAM DIMM? If you have an Apple Store or computer repair shop in your area that services macs, I’d recommend taking it in for them to diagnose hardware issues. Alternatively, you could try Apple’s built-in diagnostics.

        Have you tried resetting the PRAM? This is one of those fixes for "computer is being inexplicably weird" issues.

        Otherwise it really does sound like a memory issue. Are there any steps you can do to reliably duplicate the problem or is it just a random occurrence that sneaks up on you?

      That happens when one of Firefox's content processes crashes; the tabs it was responsible for doing all the work of go white, until the dead process gets restarted, while the rest continue to work. It doesn't always get restarted promptly.

      Flaky memory could definitely cause this too.
