Firefox browser randomly crashes, when re-started, given the message, "Firefox is already running, please close program before continuing." Only way to restart is to log out of windows and re-log back in.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce



Expected Results:  
Restarted after crashing.

Firefox was deleted from my system and then re-installed with no success
Could you give a talkback ID of the crash?

That might give an indication of what is going wrong here.

When you get this message: "Firefox
is already running, please close program before continuing."
You can remove the firefox.exe process in the Task Manager under processes (press Ctrl-Alt-Delete for that).
Mackelaus, do you still see this problem?
