When I try to load mozilla firefox from my desktop I get a message saying that firefox is running but not responding and suggests that I close that program . other advice was to uninstall firefox ,then reinstall. however, I try to close or uninstall and keep getting the same message. There are many simple or,outdated,or expensive solutions listed on google. Is there a current simple solution which takes me out of this maddening loop ?

There are several possible causes for that error, uninstalling and re-installing Firefox is very unlikely to fix it. For details on things to check see "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix
