am told firefox is already running , but task manager doesn't show it. I installed Firefox 3.6.10 on a new computer (win 7 home premium), deleted the profile given and copied my old profile in its place (win vista premium). I get the above message and am told to close the existing process, or restart the system. Can't close and restarting doesn't help. Please solve this for me, i so don't want to use Internet Explorer

g'day people... a dude called "moopenguin32" showed me the way... alleluia 

     1. Copy your Firefox shortcut (what you click on to open Firefox) to the Desktop.

     2. Right-click on it and click on Properties.

     3. Go to the end of the text in the "Target" field. The end will say: firefox.exe"

     4. Enter a space followed by: -profilemanager

     5. The end result will look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager

     6. Click OK to save the settings.

     7. Double-click on the shortcut you just changed.

     8. Delete the profile listed. It shouldn't matter that you're deleting it because you're trying to restore a profile anyways. You should have the profile you're trying to restore saved elsewhere.

     9. Close the profile manager.

     10. Start Firefox using your regular shortcut. Firefox should open properly. Close Firefox.

     11. Now to restore your profile, open the profile folder you have backed up and copy the contents of it rather than the actual folder.

     12. Go to your existing Firefox profile and open it.

     13. Delete the contents of the existing Firefox profile.

     14. Paste the contents of the Firefox profile that you're trying to restore (the one you copied in step 11).

     15. Open Firefox and everything should be there (including your extensions).

I have to do this just to use Firefox? Why?
