Ignore the mesage quoted above. I clicked the one over firefox.exe. when I
clicked firefox.exe, fixed problem. still, it should not leave a running process

This was against an old version. More recent installers should detect if firefox is running and offer to close it.
If you are still having this problem with a recent build please comment or reopen the bug.
