firefox is still running (in background or sth), press ctrl+alt+del, find the process "firefox.exe", select it and press "end process" at the bottom of the window.

Then start firefox again and it should work

The lock file needs removing i'm not sure where it is in Windows though as I use Linux check out google for the location of the firefox lock file and the firefox forum.

If you installed the GOOGLE.com PR bar, then you are fucked...

To get around the change a profile, click the second, then the first again, then OK... But you will have other problems so you are fucked... I think Google has some splainin ta do
