My computer keeps saying firefox is still running after I have closed it and then I have to restart my computer to use the internet again. What's the problem? Also, I cannot print my emails.

Why do I need to restart my computer every time I've closed the internet and try to reopen firefox?

Yep tried that and it would not stop. I tried running portable Firefox and couldn't, no surprise as it is already running. I had to reboot my PC. You may think that acceptable. When it takes 15 minutes and you don't normally turn off your machine as it needed on then it's a bigger deal.
I ran the portable version again as V5 is crap, basically and there is nowhere to find version 4!!! Thanks for that Mozilla.
It tells me that Firefox is running. I did manage to kill that version at least but why or how is FireFox running after a reboot and using 62 Mb when doing nothing to boot.
Firefox 5 is really slow at remembering URL's when typed in the whole app slows right down and it take 10-15 sec to come up with the same as V4 did straight away. I have to admit my PC in the office does not behave this way with version 5 but this is the real world.

My firefox won't open at all on my user id on Windows 7, it keeps saying 'Firefox is allready running but isn't responding' etc.

I install firefox normally, on my user id on Windows 7. But it won't open. It keeps saying 'Firefox is allready running but isn't answering. A new window can't be opened until all of firefox' processes have been shut down or the system rebootet.
This is a translation of the text as my user language is finnish.
I've also checked my fathers user id on this computer, there the firefox works, no problem.
I suspect the problem was born when I tried to take an old firefox backup into use. I think I did it wrong... Or, the backup was to old.

You can try to move the entire Firefox folder to a different location to make Firefox create a new file structure for the profile folder.
* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
* "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
* Use %APPDATA% in the File name field
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />
To see the file extensions of all files uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types"

Because the Firefox update today required me to update and install an update to an adobe application and then required me to restart my computer I "lost " the connection to my previous session and tabs. Is there any way to recover my tabs from yesterday?

Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After closing firefox, if I decide to go back online it says firefox is still running. I have all windows closed. I have to restart my computer before it will let me go online again.

If I go offline and later decide to go back online the error message says the firefox is still running even though all windows are closed.

*Wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.
*Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Once I close all windows and try to open another I get a message saying"Firefox is still running, you must close all browers before opening a new window. Why is this happening? I have the 3.5.10 Version

I close all Firefox windows. When I try to open another window later I get a message telling me that Firefox is still running and that I need to close all windows or restart my computer. I have this about 3 times a day this past week but prior to that it was maybe every one or 2 weeks. I had the 3.5.10 Version of Firefox, but have just updated to see if this stops this from happening. But what do I do if it doesn't stop it?

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

Apple Menu -> Force Quit

I open firefox it keeps saying"Firefox is already running,but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing Firefox process,or restart your system" i tried restart my computer...but it's still keep saying that..pls help me..

As I stated above, I have to constantly restart my computer because I get a message stating firefox is already running.

Do you see a firefox.exe in the Task manager if you look there right after you get this error message?
You do not have to restart the computer, just kill that process.
This situation may occur if Firefox was not closed correctly or crashed.

After exiting a pop up says firefox is still running and I cannot reaccess it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

Firefox won.t start up browser when my meta 4 is on, even when I shut off meta4 It says firefox is still running?

In order to start browser I have to restart my computer. I need to know if there is a way to run both? I had to delete mozilla from my computer so I could run meta4. I'm using chrome now and it works with meta4 on, but I would like firefox back.

What do you mean with ''meta4'' ?
Do you mean the Firefox 4.0 beta version?

I get an error message saying firefox is still running ut even after I reboot,same thing happens

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Probably a "hung" firefox.exe process.

Firefox says it's still running eventhough I've closed out of a site and will not allow me to open another site. It says "Firefox is still running". I have to completely re-start my computer. It started after I downloaded the newest version.

I log onto an email account and when I'm finished I log out and wait a few minutes before typing in a URL address for a site.
Since downloading your version 6.0.1, I have had this problem. I have to completely re-start my computer.

Error says Firefox is still running no matter what I try

I've looked around a bunch of help articles and threads, and so far I can't seem to get Firefox to stop showing me this error.
I get it every so often, not every time. I can't seem to pin down any consistent factor that would cause this. So far I've tried a fresh install (I deleted everything FIrefox from my hard drive before reinstalling), ending the process, checking the default folder access rights and deleting the parent.lock file. Even after all those things, it's still giving me the error every so often, maybe one out of every three times I try to start it up.
This isn't a huge internet-breaking problem but it's still really frustrating. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!

A possible reported cause is using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the browsing history, so if you use this then try to exclude the history.
In a few days (Tuesday) Firefox 30 will be released that has a fix for some of the causes, so can have a lot at that new version.

Using firefox 7.0.1 in Win XP (SP3), firefox.exe still runs after I exit and I have to end this process in task manager in order to get Firefox to run again. Fix?

I tried exiting Firefox using the File|exit menu item or just killing the window and (of course) re-booting the computer to see if that fixes the problem. Is this perhaps an incompatibility between the latest version of Firefox and Windows XP? (I do not have a problem like this on my Win 7 Professional (SP1) machine.)

How can I keep my old stock still running after updating to Maverick ?

OK --» I bought a wonderful Architect software, but surprise ! it works only with higher OS than 10.6.8....
I know my stuff is OLD and I'm okay to update to MAVERICK, but !! I don't want to lose my old softwares that I know by heart !
So, I was thinking : if I make a BACKUP on a large USB Key... Will I be able to start my old Photoshop CS (for example) from the key ?... or something like that...
In the past, this option worked (from a external disk) from my very old iMac... but am wondering if it still could be possible ?
And BY THE WAY : my new ARCHITECT software has been downloaded to my actual 10.6.8 (but does not start...) will it STILL BE THERE after updating???
Thankssssss a LOT for your support !
Isabelle

You need to know that "USB Key" technology may not be appropriate for a system disk. Check out "wear leveling" on Wikipedia for a sobering discussion of the service life of solid-state drives. Also read "solid-state drives" (Ibid.) for a detailed comparison with hard disk technology.
