I've just downloaded Firefox 3.6 (Mac). When I attempt to open, this message pops up: "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I've removed older versions and restarted, but still get this message. What's going on?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

after I downloaded the latest version.
