When I try to open another firebox app when one is already open, the new one
crashes with dialog message "firebox.exe has encountered problem and needs to be
closed. Report MS..."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open another instance of firebox.exe application
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
New instance crashes

Expected Results:  
Should have not opened another instance if the design choice is to keep only one
instance running at a time or allowed to open multiple instances. In any case,
should not crash.
The cause of crash is different from what I stated earlier. It happened even
when I tried to open first instance of firefox.exe app. I was using IE and
Firefox in interleaved fashion. This might be the cause for the crash. Though
after reinstallation of firefox, the problem is fixed and I cannot recreate even
on interleaved usage of IE and Firefox.
