Not sure how this happened, but I can't open Firefox "because a copy is already open..." but I still get the error message after I "Quit" Firefox. Help? (Using Firefox on a Mac with OS X 10.5.8)

I just downloaded Firefox last week so I could use Citrix GoTMeeting on my Mac. Also got the mobiole app working - good instructions! Anyway - I had to use Safari to get to you to ask this question... Firefix seems to be in some sort of loop. I did not download two copies, so maybe I managed to copy the one I did download somehow?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
