Public bug reported: Firefox works fine. Sometimes...when I close the browser, it closes with no problems. The icon on the launcher doesn't have the little arrow that shows that it's still open. Yet, if I try to run Firefox again later...I receive an error message that says something like: "Firefox is currently running. Please close the open window or re-boot your computer." Since I can find no open Firefox session, re-booting the PC is my only option. After the boot, the browser works fine...but eventually the problem will come back up.
