Firefox is already running, but not responding in Linux
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.
It was the error message on my fedora 7 machine that had Firefox 2 installed. I was able to launch Firefox in my root user account but I was not able to do so in my non root user account.
I am not Linux expert but I always believe you can search any solution as long as you know what you need to search so I just goggled for this and got the solution and cause of problem too.
Cause of the problem is a bug that is in Firefox since version 1.5 and its solution is simple delete the old profile and creates a new one. Here is the complete process in steps.
1) Login as non root user.
2) Press alt+f2 it will give you a small window.
3) In text field of this windows type Firefox �p
4) It will open Firefox profile window.
5) Delete or rename the existing all profiles.
6) Create a new profile and make it default.
7) Start you Firefox and here you go. It�s should work fine now.
I got this problem in Linux (Fedora) but doesn�t matter if you have same problem in windows solution is same in windows also for this problem
If you are in windows for step 2 instead of alt+2 please user windows key+r and rest all the process is same.
Do let me know if you face any issue in this.
Hope it was useful for you.
