Firefox is still running when I exit. It will not let me start it up again unless I end it in task manager.

When ever I exit Firefox I can not reopen it because it is still running (not as an application but as a process) until I end the Firefox.exe *32 process

after you close it, try waiting about 2 minutes before opening it up, also try closing it then immediately try to open it again and when you get the message click OK and wait about 2 minutes and then try to open it again, it should works, that's what i do on my PC
