This is in 99.9% of all cases a firewall issue but you don't have one. No other user reported such a problem with 3.0.2 and there is nothing we can do if we can not reproduce this,.
i'm getting the same problem when i installed 3.0.2 i dont remember anything happening and now firefox 2 OR 3 wont go online but msie does. it has an error message of "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." but firefox isnt running to begin with. btw i'm using windows vista.
I figured it out. I had to re-enable the Kaspersky firewall, allow inbound connections and then disable Kaspersky. That fixed the problem. I have no idea why the firewall would have caused this issue when it wasn't even turned on, though. Very odd.

That is not odd for me, That is "normal" if I watch all the people with Firewall problems after an update :-) The firewall installs a firewall driver that is running in the kernel mode of the OS. If you disable the Firewall it will not disable or uninstall this driver. I bet you had FF3.01 configured in Kaspersky and with the update the .exe file is now different from the 3.0.1 .exe one. That is enough for a firewall to block the application. You have to ask kaspersky why the firewall still blocks such things in the disabled state. Anthony: You case is different and not this bug. >2 OR 3 wont go online but msie does this is wrong, Firefox doesn't start in your case which is different. >but firefox isnt running to begin with Did you check in the windows task manager under the process tab ? I will mark this bug invalid as Firewall issue, I'm glad you found the problem karen and that Firefox works again for you. Anthony: For your case i would use http://support.mozilla.com, there are also Forums and a live chat help. If you can not get help there you can try to file a new bug here.
