Answer 1

I have the same issue with Firefox the funny thing is I only have this issue with Firefox 3  Firefox 2 never did this.

Answer 2

Did you try restarting your system like it suggests?

Usually this message means FireFox hasn't actually been closed, and is still running in the background.

Try getting into the task manager (ctrl+alt+del), going to the processes tab, and scrolling down to firefox.exe. End the process from the task manager if possible, and also end any mention of firefox under the programs tab. Try to reopen firefox after that and see if you are still having a problem
