When trying to start Firefox I keep getting message saying "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I've started a new Profile but Profile Manager keeps telling me the Default one is still in use.

When trying to start Firefox again I got a message saying "Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This question is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried from there seems to work. I started a new Profile from the Profile Manager which at least gets me up and functioning, but weirdly enough the Manager also tells me the old (Default) profile is still running, though I can't find a way to close it. I also can't find the Default profile in my profile manager. can anyone help?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== i thought I'd exited Firefox and was going in again.

Had this problem on my MacBook after I deleted my profile (the profile folder is named something like asd8f7as.default). The solution for me was to open profiles.ini and delete the information about the profile I had deleted. It should look something like this:
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2xr4hi1g.default
Delete, save, problem solved.

  • Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy certain apps thru iTunes. I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this. Thanks

    Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this? Thanks

    If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
    And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

    My Windows 7  crashed a couple days ago after a windows update, I got this message.
    Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
    I restarted the machine and got this message
    Windows was unable to load the registry. This problem is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
    DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. for C:\Users\TEMP\ntuser.dat
    I checked the event Log I found these .
    Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.
    DETAIL - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.
    Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.
    Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile.

    Looking at the Logs all I can tell is that after the Desktop Window Manager started if caused this error.

    then this one
    The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0x40010004)
    Then this before it shutdown.

    The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

    hi do the following
    1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
    2. If prompted click yes,
    3.  expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
    something similair)
    5. right click the sid and press delete.
    6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
    in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
    i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
    i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

    When I try to buy music, I get message saying that my credit card information does not match the bank records. My information, formatting are exactly the same as the bank. Help!

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

  • When trying to login to hotmail, I get message asking me to select program to read default.apsx file, i.e. firefox will no longer open hotmail; ; this just started yesterday

    I can't login to hotmail and read my email because after filling in the login and password it now states it needs to open the default.aspx file from http://sn120w.snt120.mail.live.com and asks me what program to use to open the default.aspx file.

    Hotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide you a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
    I will let you know if get any updates!

  • HT1349 What to when trying to download an app and get message "could not sign in, An unknown error has occurred"

    What do you do when trying to download an app from App Store and get message: "could not sign in, an unknown error has occurred."

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
