Firefox is already running -error message

I am using Tor Browser bundle, which I had to upgrade to latest version. When I start to run Tor Browser Vidalia Control -screen opens up ok, but then I get error message "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."

I am running Windows 7, and Tor Browser was extracted to "Program files (x86)"-folder. This is apparently linked to file attributes, Win 7 seems to mark all files as "read only" in Program files -folder. I managed to get rid of the error message by extracting Tor to a regular folder (desktop).

This might be a good hint to add to the installation instructions.
