Re: Two firefox.exe??

is this a single occurrence or does it happen everytime you use firefox. If it is a single occurrence than I would just kill the process wiht the 500,000 + because it is probably an instance of firefox that failed to shut. if it happens everytime than uninstall and reinstall firefox.
