If I close a session on Firefox and then try to reopen it, I get a screen that says "you must close your current session because Firefox is already running".

The power went out and when it came back on, my computer seemed fine. I was able to access the internet through Firefox as usual. However, if I closed my session and tried to reopen it, it would say that there was already a session open and that I would have to close it before trying again. I would have to go to the task manager and find Firefox in the list of processes and end the process in order to get back to the internet. I have tried restarting my computer twice. What could be the problem?

Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.
You can also try to use Firefox/File > Exit to close Firefox.

Thanks! You are right. It was just taking a lot longer than normal to close completely. When I became more patient and waited, it worked fine.
