When I try to start Firefox I get 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.

I get this message when I try to start Firefox after first logging on after turning on the computer.

   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.
Have rebooted. Works when Administrator logs in, just does this in my user profile. Have also re-intalled. Mo change in my User account.
 Firefox was working fine for the last 3 1/2 years.  Any suggestions?
