You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.


Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)

Find your profile folder

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default

find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).

Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?
