When you try to start Firefox I get a message saying "a copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "I started a new profile, but the Profile Manager always tells me that by default it is still in use.

When you try to start Firefox, even once, I got a message saying "close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "This issue is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried there seems to work. I started a new profile in the profile manager that gets at least upwards and the functioning, but strangely enough the Manager also told me the old (default) profile is still underway, although I can't find a way to close it. Also, I can't find the default profile in my Profile Manager. can anyone help?

This has happened

Just once or twice

== I thought that I had left Firefox and he was new.

I get the same problem from time to time. It is not a solution but I go into Task Manager (select by right clicking on an empty area of the start bar) and under the research process and, invariably, there is a 'hidden' version to use the FF. I selects & close via Task Manager and then am able to restart FF.

  • When I try to install SP1a, I get a message saying that the file is corrupted.

    Need help, Im confused

    OK, so I have windows XP I am trying to install on my acer aspire 5100. Its an old copy that came with another computer. All I'm trying to do is to clean the computer clean and start over. Installation was successful, but when I try to install SP1a I get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I can't connect to the internet of him because the surrent version doesn't support WPA2.

    If the hash is correct and then try running SFC/scannow from a command prompt - it may work, depending on how the software manufacturer set up the drive, but it is preferable to use in conjunction with a good OS disc, rather than the recovery disk.

    Hi I can not launch Dreamweaver cc 2015 all I get is a message saying lack of mfc120.dll

    I am running Windows Pro 8.1

    Thank you

    Yes I did and it did not help, I already rebooted my machine

    However, after a search, I discovered that mfc120.dll is part of the library of redistributing Microsoft visual studio:

    So I then did a search for MS Visual C++ Redistributable package

    Download Packages redistributable Visual C++ to Visual Studio 2013 of the official Microsoft Download Center

    and after you download and install the problem disappeared

    I would have thought that this redistributable would be have been installed with Dreamweaver. ?
