Everytime I close the browser of Firefox, and want to open it again afterwards, I get the message "FF is allready active, but doesn't respond...." I know I can close FF with the taskmanager, but to have to do it time and time again, is totaly not workable ? I already uninstalled and installed FF again (latest version), but the problem stays the same. I already use FF for many years and didn't have that problem, untill a little while ago

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
