Reproducable bug: Tor Browser v3.6.5 gets into a non-responsive state on startup about 15% of the time, possibly due to the HTTPS-Everywhere plugin
I noticed that there is a reproducable Bug (at least on my PC) with Tor Browser v3.6.5 (latest version as of 2014-09-06).
If I open and close Tor Browser a few times, it always get into a state where "firefox.exe" is running in the background, and you click on the icon, but nothing happens.
Sometimes, it pops up dialogue box "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
If I manually kill the "firefox.exe" process, then everything starts to work properly.
In the short term, I would suggest that you enhance this error message, so instead of telling you to "Close the existing Firefox process" (which might be difficult for someone like my Mum to understand), it offers to automatically fix the problem, which is a matter of killing the process "firefox.exe" and retrying again.
Environment: Windows 7 x64, latest service packs.
p.s. In this ticket, I couldn't fill out "Milestone", "Version" or "Compnent" as it didn't mention "Tor Browser v3.6.5". Might want to fix this.
p.p.s. Tor Browser is awesome in every way, it is an incredible service to help people living in oppressive regimes who like to shoot people for posting their thoughts online.
