I don't know what might be causing the problem, but you could try opening FF in Safe Mode. I'm not sure if I can help if that doesn't work.

I have this problem too: when I have used and shut down FF and then try to start it again, I get the message that FF is still running, while it's not. Using Windows task manager, I can see that the process is in fact still running. In order to startup startup FF again, I have to end this process manually. This problem is really annoying since I open and close FF several times a day. I run Windows 7.
