I was deleting stuff from c drive and I must have deleted something to do with firefox. I removed firefox using control panel and downloaded and reinstalled. Clicking firefox icon I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.' doner all that but problem remains the same. Whate the firefox process that wont go away?
