It actually says that Firefox is already running but not responding and the other window needs to be closed. Cannot find any other window running. Only happens on the server. OK on the PC desktop

I have similar problem on Win XP if i have used Firefox 4 but have closed it, then try to open Firefox again; it will give me that error message.

Message says to reboot but that is not always possible if I am in the middle of another program.

I found that if you open the windows task manager (ctrl + alt+ del) >>processes tab highlight the "image name" firefox.exe and click end process.

Firefox will then restart normally.
