Every time I go to open Firefox I get this message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Hi archermjones,

Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in the article.

Hopefully this helps!
