Can not close Firefox properly and won't open again.

Firefox Launch failure
Allen & Gail Martin
Allen & Gail Martin

I'm getting the 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window' message. I've gone to the task manager and end tasks. Then try to delete parent.lock in Firefox profiles in appdata. Then I get this message... The action can't be completed because the file is open in Firefox. Can you please help me with this problem.
