When Firefox is started for the second time a message appears saying that Firefox is running and needs to be closed. This requires a reboot to clear. Operating systemWindows XP SP3. Firefox 3.6.12 This problem only appeared after updating.

For the possible causes of that error see "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix, in your case it appears that Firefox is not shutting down normally.
