Can only open FF one time without rebooting. Have reinstalled. Same problem

Firefox worked fine until 5.0 on this pc. Now, have to reboot or even uninstall/reinstall to get it to open. Then it will only open once.
5.0 works fine on my laptop, just not thid desktop.

I am not having the same issue, and I am running 10.5.2 OS and 6.0.2 FCP. I also have FCP 6.0.2 on a computer running 10.4.11 and I have duplicate media on both systems, and bring a file back and forth and don't have to connect the media one at a time. This was a wide spread problem with 6.0.1, and the 6.0.2 update fixed that for most people. Why you are still having that problem is odd. Try trashing your FCP prefs with FCP RESCUE, and also try repairing your permissions with the Disk Utility.

  • When I try and launch Firefox, I get this error message A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." and have tried all of the trouble shooting tips, can you help?

    When I try and launch Firefox, I get this error message >A copy of Firefox is already open.

I thought if I were to completely uninstall and re install it might help, but I cannot seem to find instructions to do this....

    See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], the image shown in that article is the Windows equivalent of the error message that you are receiving, but the information relates to the Mac.

  • I get a dialog box with a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be open at one time.

    I get a dialog box with the following: "a copy of firefox is open and only one copy of firefox can be opened at one time."
    I do not see where firefox is open.
    How do get back into firefox so that i can read the links that are in my emails?
    Thank you.

    Sometimes when FF is closing, not all of it shuts down properly.
    On Windows, start the '''Task Manager''' (Other systems may have
    different names and / or commands). Select '''Processes'''.
    Look down the list for Firefox. Right click and select '''End Task'''.
    If this problem keeps coming up, ask for more help.

  • Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.

    Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
    I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

    This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

  • How many apps can be open at one time?

    My friend did not know how to close apps. I showed her and was shocked at how many she had open at one time. Everything since she got her ipad over a year ago. She must have had 30 games, pictures, internet, lists, contacts, mail, video, everything was open.
    It made me curious if there is a maximum number that can be open at one time, and if at some point will they automatically close themselves?
    Thanks

    Open apps consume almost no resources, unless they run background refresh. Once they have been inactive for a while, iOS writes the current state back to storage, to free up RAM for other processes. You can see this when some apps, particularly big heavy games like Infinity Blade, relaunch from the starting splash screens instead of taking up precisely where they were left.
    It's still good practice to close down stuff every so often, but not necessary, as you've discovered.

  • Can only open CS 6 once, then I have to reboot

    New strong and fast pc (240 GB SSD, 32 GB RAM etc) and W7 Pro and CS6:
    Can only open CS 6 one time. Next time I can not - have to reboot before I can again.( Can open Bridge everytime I want.)

    I agree with you in your considerations about PC-tools, and maybe I cancel it and try the free AVG? - or any other suggestions ?? - I chose PC-tools because a test showed it was the best, but I know there are different tests, that not show the same.
    Not 100% agree with your other considerations - I mean the lack of balance in this - but this is a long discussion, which I currently not have the time, but I want to take it later
    For example. I remember in the beginning with XP, where many felt as unpaid laborers for Bill Gates, when we sent the MS error reports on everything, including something that perhaps should have checked before sending the system in the street, and perhaps there are still something to do here, either for MS or for 3. part programs
    However, let me take an example of a car - an example that supports your point of view, although this is a personel fault
    A new car had come on the market and would be very cheap on fuel (it was in the really old days when we used the choker) and a sweet elderly lady bought the car because it was cheap on fuel ..
    She could, however, demonstrate that it spent enormous amount of gasoline, and the workshop spent hours adjusting it, and she got it again.
    But she came back - it used still plenty of gasoline.
    Foreman decided to go for a drive with her to see how she ran, and they sat in the car with her at the wheel, the foreman on the side.
    The first thing she did was to pull the choke out fully and hang her purse there while she said it was a really nice thing with this button for her bag.

  • Thunderbird 31.0 can only be started one time after boot.

    After installing TBird 31.0 on Win7x64, the application can only be started 1 time. It does not matter if safe mode is used on the second restart; it always crashes. If TBird is closed or crashes, the OS must be rebooted. All OS patches are installed. Problem appeared with version 31.
    When TBird is shut down normally, the process never completely disappears from Task Manager.

  • How many Safari windows can I open at one time?

    I have an old habit of keeping lots of Safari windows open at one time, instead of closing them as I go. I'm using a G4 iBook with 768 of RAM over an Airport wireless system. I have at least 40 gigs of open space on my HD and recently repaired permissions and emptied cache and history, but it takes FOREVER for new pages to load. I've enabled the interference filter, which seemed to help for a day or so, but I'm back to beach ball ****. Meanwhile, my spouse is using a TiBook 667 with Airport card on the same Airport base station, and has none of the delays I do.
    Does having a couple dozen Safari windows open at one time slow the whole program down? If not, anyone have any other ideas?

    iTunes will only open one library at a time.

  • When I open and close firefox about 3 times, I get the blue screen of death. Why? Also Firefox only opens every second time, and I have to close it manually to fix the problem. How can I avoid this?

    I have to close the firefox from my task list. Before I do that I can't open any web browser. This is really annoying, and I have had this problem only after using Firefox 4.

  • I can only open up one window with multiple tabs; right click "open in a new window" does not work. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox with same results.

    Just bought a new i5 laptop and am transferring files, etc onto new box. Last night I had two separate Firefox windows up. I downloaded Nexus Ultimate late and rebooted this morning. I had to restart Firefox then, and it did not save my settings/tabs as I prompted it to do when it shut down to reboot.
    I uninstalled Nexus and wasted many hours trying to resolve this, including two failed system restores (looks like Nexus is a dirty little bugger) Windows Explorer will open up multiple windows. Firefox will not. Help.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • Whenever I try to open firefox, I get this message, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I have the latest version, and do not have anything else opened. How can I fix this?

    I cannot get my firefox application to open and it is not offering me any options for troubleshooting.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
