TSGL: Firefox is already running

[H Davis]

Ivana,

I wouldn't worry about the frightening message. As long as you know what 
the program is that you're ending and that it's not part of Windows or 
something else that is needed to keep Windows working properly you'll 
probably be ok.

Go to the processes tab and click on the User Name heading. This will 
sort all your programs to the top (or bottom). You should be able to end 
any of these without a problem. By problem I mean a crash. Something may 
stop working but that's to be expected. The ones labeled System or some 
kind of Service you should probably stay away from.

I've ended lots of processes over the years and never had any problems.
