Hello,:-)

/The following article explains how to deal with "Firefox is already
running" message.hope it helps out
"Run *strace -o ~/ff.strace firefox* and then investigated the
strace file. My hunch was that one or other file lock
wasn't being relinquished properly, perhaps from an earlier
crashed firefox process. I grepped through the log, looking for file
opens, and eventually found this:/
open("/home/matthew/.mozilla/firefox/2z7l4uii.default/.parentlock",
O_WRONLY|O/CREAT|O/TRUNC, 0666) = 4/
Bingo! I checked; and even with no firefox process running,
this file existed. It was an empty lock file, so I deleted it. That did
the trick --- now FireFox runs again!
So in summary; if you have this problem, check your .mozilla
file (or the Windows equivalent) for any 'lock' files --- quit any mozilla
applications, then delete the lock files and try again. That
should fix the problem!"
