    You will get more responses if you put this in the TECHIE forum. I use Firefox but can't advise on your problem, sorry.

    I couldn't tell you why it's happening, but to fix it I imagine you just need to remove Firefox via add/remove programs and then download it from the firefox website and reinstall it.

    I've had this occasionally, Firefox still thinks its running, try opening the task manager, click on the processes tab and if you see firefox.exe highlight it and stop the process.
    Firefox should open now.

    PS Firefox 4 beta is available for download with a British dictionary.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    open task manager and under 'processes' look for one called firefox and 'end task' it. or restart your computer.
