I had two versions of Firefox (1.07 and 2.0). I finally trashed
1.07... but when I tried to open 2.0 I received a message: There is
already one copy of Firefox open. Only one copy can be open at a
time. I cleared caches, repaired permissions rebooted and still got
the same message. I then trashed everything on the computer with
Firefox except the profile folder and rebooted again. Then
reinstalled Firefox 2.0 and tried to open it. Got the same "There is
already a copy of Firefox open message. Any help or suggestions on
how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
lassaga

That's bizarre. Open Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities) and
check to see if some other version of Firefox is running or not. If
there is, you can kill it there.

I know with Windows, Firefox creates a file when it opens. I once
had to delete that file by hand. If your problem occurs after
rebooting, I'd check mozilla.support.firefox and see if there is a
similar file on Macs.
