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 (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

There are several possible causes for that error message, for details see "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix.
I have gone to the link that you supplied . In the task manager-- ending the entry for Firefox.exec did not resolve the problem. I located my profile in the start menu In the run tab And entered %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as instructed. I received a cannot delete parent file is corrupted or unreadable. I then ran the Chkdsk (check disk )and tried the process again with no improvement . I have uninstalled Firefox, and redownloaded It. Still no improvement. I want my Firefox WHAAAAAAA
If you are getting an error message from Windows about not being able to delete a file, there are some utilities that may help. See http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/deletelockedfiles.shtml

Current profile was causing the problem I've opened a new one and now I am able to enter firefox. I am somewhat lost on how to retrieve my old profile and put it on my new profile help
After scratching my head I figured out how to copy the files that weren't corrupted and move them as a block to my User profile . I hovered over the first file /shift /to the last file . Right click /copy , up one folder to the parent folder which held both profiles . Hovered over the new profile and clicked paste . Prompts said replace existing files I clicked yes to all until it stopped at a corrupted file and prompted me that that file was corrupted . I went back and blocked everything from the first to the file before the corrupted one pasted them in the new profile . I repeated this process until all of the corrupted files were bypassed and all of the usable files were transferred to my new profile .
Thank you for all your help , I was losing what hair I had left scratching my head trying to figure out how to fix this (on the upside my butt enjoyed a vacation)
After a few hours of checking my profile, copying profiles.ini, editing profiles.ini, backing up my profile folder, etc., etc., etc. I found a very simple but effective solution. I completely uninstalled Firefox . Only this time when the Firefox uninstall dialog box popped up I checked the option "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations". I then completely shut down and restarted. Then reinstalled Firefox, and thereby creating an entirely new profile from scratch.
The upside again was a simple and effective solution. The down side is I have had to recreate my Favorites, reinstall my add-ons, etc., but overall I am happily up and running seamlessly with Firefox again.
