[Mitch Kolodin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

My firefox browser was recently updated automatically to the latest version. After the installation, if I close Firefox to do something else and then try to restart (not maximize) firefox, I receive an error message that says firefox is already running and that I must either stop the process or reboot the system. It is annoying, but your browser is so great I figure I did something wrong or something. Can you please tell me how to fix this.

Thank You, Mitch
