Windows 8.1 Preview Firefox worked fine until this AM. Now I can close the window but when I want to start it again (either by link or from desktop) I get a message that Firefox is already running. I use End Task in Task Manager. I can then restart Firefox.

By the time I received your answer the problem was not occurring anymore. I am saving your message, however, for the next time it does. Thanks.
