I dropped the ulimit commands from ".profile" and put them in openbox
"menu.xml". I think that should set the limits per firefox process. I
will wait a few days and then post to let you know if this fixes the
problem.
<menu id="apps-net-menu" label="Internet">
...
<item label="Firefox">
<action name="Execute">
<command>
/bin/sh -c "ulimit -n $(ulimit -Hn); ulimit -d $(ulimit -Hd); /usr/local
/bin/firefox"
</command>
<startupnotify>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
<wmclass>Firefox</wmclass>
</startupnotify>
</action>
</item>
...
</menu>
