Can't Close Firefox- Get FF is Running!!!

I am fit to be tied with Firefox 3.6. On my Sony Vaio, Firefox will not open, I cannot even uninstall or reinstall as it says it it running! I have gone to my systems tabs and it does not show it running.

See what happens if you type default in search. Make IE your default and then reboot the computer.

Is the program available in add/remove programs? Can u try removing perhaps in safe mode. Try removing also with Revo Uninstaller. Very odd behavior.

I think Kucing13 has the immediate solution. I run FF3.6.3 and once in a while I launch it but nothing happens; relaunch ditto. Look in TM in <APPLICATIONS> tab: no FF. However look in <PROCESSES> tab and there it is. End the process and re launch.

Permanent fix: I have not bothered to fool with it since it happens to me rarely and killing the initial process and relaunching is OK with me.
