TSGL: Firefox is already running

Dave,
I have version 1.5.0.3.  Not sure how I missed the latest.

Thanks to all (Dave, Kathryn, Justin) who pointed me to the correct spot to 
find FF in Task Manager.  I was looking in Applications.

Also, ED, that's a good point about the task bar.  I'll look to see if it's 
buried there as you said, although I have had it show up minimized in the 
upper left hand corner of my desktop a few times. ???

And Don, to answer your questions.  No, this just started 3-4 weeks ago.  No 
other problems, no new software and no other changes that I can remember, 
except a ZA update.  I tend to close up FF and then reopen several times 
each day.  This doesn't occur every time I close FF and try to reopen.  The 
next time it does happen I will try to follow your suggestions.  I would 
like to fix it rather than just deal with it.  But at least now, thanks to 
TSGL, I know how to close it w/o rebooting.

Mike
