Do you get the same firefox behavior if you Quit under the file menu. I find it fairly common that firefox is running but the window does not open up on the deskttop. Then when I try to launch firefox again I get the same error you are getting and I need to run ps and kill all the firefoxs running. -- ======================================================================= Why do we have two eyes?
