Make sure you don't have
Make sure you don't have another Firefox running. If parent.lock doesn't exist in your profile folder, you probably have a locally installed copy of it running.

Look
in task manager to see if there is a firefox.exe process, if there is and you can't see it, it may have crashed. You could kill it from the task manager and try again. On the other hand if you just updated it could be that you started it once and it is just taking a while to apply the update.
