Hello Group;
I can duplicate this error all of the time. When I run FireFox 2 portable for the first time. I have to reboot my PC or I can not run this application a second time. I get the following error message. "portableapps multiple instance is running pleas shut down prior to restarting.
After the reboot the application runs fine each time I exit it.
I all so can not delete the directory prior to rebooting. I get the following error message. "Can not delete JAR50.dll: access is denied.
During restarting my PC, I also get this error. "XPCOM:E...WILL NOT RESPOND".
I am running this application on a PC running Windows 2000 Pro with service pack 4. A possible side not is that I do not get this message from a installed version of Mozilla Firefox two, or from the firefox portable version 1.5.0.7 that was installed on the same PC, OS that is runn for the first time.
Everytime I run a fresh copy of Firefox portable 2. I get this error. If I put it in a directory on my hard drive or on my USB.

Most likely, Firefox didn't close correctly (check task manager and kill it). Firefox 2.0 has this problem a bit.
And there's no such error as "portableapps multiple instance is running pleas shut down prior to restarting". It says "Another instance of Firefox is running, please close it prior to starting Mozilla Firefox - Portable Edition." which is true since firefox.exe is still running.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hello John;
I did try that. It does not show up in the task manager. It all so has not reappeared. It seems to happen only after the first time you runn it.

Do you have a local copy of FF that is starting when you boot up?
I recently had a Trojan Virus on my local pc and found a great program from MS that helped tell which programs were starting and which processes were running at any time. Much more in depth than task manager.
