firefox died leaving this lock behind and there happens to be a process
with that ID, Firefox will think you're trying to launch it anew while
it is still running.
Remove that "lock" symlink and try starting Firefox again.

Hi, I've just installed 11.1 64 bit and cannot start firefox as user,
I get a message saying firefox is already running but ps -AF doesn't
show any instances running. Anybody know whats happening? It starts
as root. Regards
