| 1227520 | 2011-08-31 00:58:00 | I am finding that after logging off any website, and trying to log on to another, I get the following error message. " 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" I am unable to do as message first says, as nothing shows as a running application in Task Manager, so my only recourse has been to reboot my computer. Has anyone had this same error, or has anyone found a way around it?? |

| 1227521 | 2011-08-31 01:01:00 | I get the same message sometimes, it doesnt quit fast enough. Its done this since V5 of FF. I just kill it in task manager. Does 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 appear even if you open a new tab? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1227522 | 2011-08-31 01:11:00 | How do you manage to kill it in task manager Speedy? It does not show as a running app, and will not allow removal of the process in the running processes screen. New tab opens with no problem. I agree with your comment that FF is not closing itself fast enough, and while I too had the problem to some extent in FF5, it seems worse in FF6 | Richard (739) | ||
| 1227523 | 2011-08-31 01:15:00 | It shows in task manager here (firefox.exe). What if you click on show processes for all users in task manager? Can you see firefox.exe? A similar thing happens in Skype 5.5. It doesnt quit fast enough either. If you quit / then run it too soon, you'll get an I/O error. And you'll have to type your password in again to log in. I went back to 4.2 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1227524 | 2011-08-31 01:36:00 | kb.mozillazine.org Found this article about this problem. At the moment FF6 is performing perfectly for me so am leaving well alone. I will research further if it recurs. Thanks and Cheers Speedy. |

| 1227526 | 2011-08-31 03:58:00 | I can find it in the processes tab OK, but I cannot end the process. It just takes no effect. I can end others without problem, but not firefox.exe. I have disabled all my add-ons and plug-ins, so the problem in Firefox closing is not coming from there. Any other ideas welcome. |

| 1227527 | 2011-08-31 05:09:00 | I had that issue with FF 4. And another unrelated issue. I think it's Windows. I got p***ed off in the end and ran my image restore and all was well again. And nope, you can't end the process, not even with 3rd party apps. tried for ages. |
