Firefox Is Already Running

Featured Replies

Whenever I close my Firefox window and attempt to open another one at a later time I get a message saying that Firefox is already running and I must close the process, or restart my machine. Is there any fix to this? I've resorted to just closing is in the processes page every time. So I ask again, can this be fixed?

 

Any help appreciated!

I get it occasionally but usually after tht error pops up it does close and clicking again works fine.

My solution is to CTRL+ALT+Delete, go to task manager. Then look for the firefox[Caution: Executable File] program running, you'll notice one is running a very high amount. Shut it down and firefox will work perfectly after.

Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.

I do this when it happens and it usually fixes it :thumbup:

That's what he said he does:

But yeah, that's the quick fix. All you have to do to prevent that error is wait for it to close itself; in other words don't attempt to open it up again for a minute or two after closing it.

 

Or you could do what I did: I said "[bleep] you firefox" and downloaded chrome instead.
