I think it's a bug that should be sent to microsoft, as it seems to be a
quite common thing happening in vista, not only with mozilla but other
programs too.
The only real fix for this is to visit www.distrowatch.com and download
the fix that is most to your likening.

I had the same problem but after I did the following fix it sorted it,
from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#Windows-specific_problems
The program must close to allow a previous installation attempt to
complete. Please restart."
If you are receiving this message when attempting to start Firefox and
a restart has no effect (bug 283680):
Open the Firefox installation directory (usually C:\Program Files
\Mozilla Firefox) and delete the file "xpicleanup.dat".
Windows Vista: Open the C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local
\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder and delete the file
"xpicleanup.dat". The "AppData" folder is hidden by default; to open
it, go to "Start -> Run -> (type in) %APPDATA% -> OK". You may need to
first end the "xpicleanup" process, if found, in Windows Task Manager
and delete the file "xpicleanup.exe" in the Firefox installation
directory.
Hope it helps
