    I’ve been all over Mozilla sites looking for a fix with this browser. It seems if I exit out of the browser and then try to execute it again I keep getting this note that Firefox is already running. I’ve been through all the “hoops” for addressing this (rename this, delete that, reboot, etc, etc) and it just doesn’t seem to work. Could someone please come up with a fix on the next version? I hate to say this but IE doesn’t seem to have this problem but I really like Firefox and have been using it for quite some time. This is the only problem beside add-on compatibility issues that I dislike about this browser.

      Hi Mike,

      Please file a bug for Firefox at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi and the proper people can follow up on that.
