Firefox won't start, dialog says "firefox is already running" when it is not! There are no apps shown in the Task mangler, what gives?
This occurs on two different machines, one XP and one Win 7. I seems to occur when I close Firefox with a search or load in progress. There are no applications shown in the task manager, so there must be a process still finishing up. What would the process name be? I can wait several minutes usually and the problem goes away and Firefox will restart, but if I knew the process name I could kill it and restart Firefox.

See "Hang at exit":
It used 2 happen 2 me a lot, as well, on the old PC. The new one handles it pretty much instantaneously; & also, it won't be under the Applications tab in teh mangler (hehe), but under the Processes 1 probably as firefox.exe
