I have removed firefox and then re-installed, but it says there's an instance already running. I've looked all over trying to fine .parentlock (which from other websites says causes that problem) and can not locate that file. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
