HI,

Like many people The message, speifically is "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."

How do you DISABLE the firefox parent.lock? I have restarted my system 2 times .

Delete the parent file lock is done! but impossible to permanently kill the process ... PARENT LOCK.

Please help if some can. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Have you try the uninstall and reinstall ? When you uninstall Firefox make sure you clean up your Firefox profile in Documents Settings\ Application Data ....... Programs and delete Files\Mozilla or Firefox.

Parent.lock is created while firefox is running to prevent multiple use of a profile.

have a look at here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in...file_lock_file .. Hope this will help. Good luck.

Usually, you can just kill the firefox process to solve this problem. Just to clarify something.... parent.lock is a file that Firefox uses for internal uses. You CAN NOT eliminate it from your system. It is part of HOW FIREFOX WORKS.
