samsung n150 netbook windows 7 starter operating system. just will not allow me to open it

Make sure that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) isn't locking files.
You can also try to delete or rename the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) on your hard drive.

Firefox says I am already running Firefox,and I have to close the first one first.Only it's not running and I have to re-boot my computer in order to access Firefox.

I have been using other browsers because of this annoying problem,and don't want to because FF is my favorite.
Also,in addition to the problem above:When I launch FF to get to my home page,two FF's open.I have to tick one to get back to just one.This happens every time.
Also:No matter when I launch FF and attempt to start surfing,I always get the message that FF cannot find whatever webpage I am looking for,including my home page.
FF was running beautifully,as always,until this started a month ago.I attempted to uninstall FF so I could start over,but it doesn't appear in my "uninstall" folder in my control panel.
I purchased a registry cleaner program a few days ago,hoping somehow it might help,but it has not.
Thank you

Yes but all your previous content from the old computer will be erased.

When I try to close all programs it tells me firefox is still running and I have to close it first but it is not running!

After I have finished working on my computer, I close it all out and shut the monitor off. Lately it will not let me close out saying that firefox is still open and I should close it first. I cannot see anything that indicates firefox is running.

It sounds like it is hanging at exit, for details on how to troubleshoot that see either of these links:

When I close firefox and put my computer to sleep, the next day try to run firefox and it says its already running and I have to close it first; I have to ctrl+alt+delete to end the process and THEN start firefox.

The only other way to avoid this problem is to fully shutdown, or restart my computer.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
