I can't open Firefox because a message says it's already open and that I must close it before I can open it. However, there is nothing on the screen that looks like Firefox and there is no miniaturized icon in the tray. The only way I am able to open Firefox is to restart my system. Apparently doing that closes the invisible Firefox that I can't close on my own.
