After closing Firefox and then later trying to open, it says it is already open, but not!
After being on the internet for a while, I close Firefox. Minutes later when I try to activate Firefox, it says Firefox is already running. Its not showing in the task bat or any other place on the desk top as being active. The only way I can log onto Firefox is to do a restart. This happens several times a day. Any ideas???

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox. This is usually caused by an Extension or Plugin.
- How to stop the running Firefox process
- In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the Processes tab?
- See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
- What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
- You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
- You may need to use Safe Mode to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
- Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
- If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
