How long is one of your typical sessions? How long do you wait after closing to start again?
if you close down Firefox but then decide to restart it for whatever reason, openSUSE/KDE/whatever gives you the error message, "Firefox is already running. ..." and won't let you start Firefox until you "close" the already "running" Firefox.
Just an idea:
Look in your profile dir for the largest files. Likely one of *.sqlite is obscenely large. If so, try going into prefs -> security and uncheck the two "block..." boxes, then close, then see if startup works as expected. If it does, but you wish to keep those security settings on, try going to one of the Mozilla web sites and find out how to "compact" those .sqlite files. Then turn the two prefs on again and see how shutdown and startup work.
OK, as a follow-up to my earlier response to your post. I did not follow your suggestions above, but did do what Anton referenced (and which Carlos then also mentioned) about how to VACUUM the sqlite dbs. When I did that (?)a few days ago, nothing happened - I still got the error message stating that FF was running. In the meantime, there were some upgrades to 11.2 and KDE4.4 and this appears to have cleared this problem. If I close FF down and then restart it 2 seconds later - it restarts without an error message. (This as it is at the moment, OK :-) . What will happen tomorrow, the day after, I cannot say :-D .) Why I state that some upgrades may have been responsible for the "fix" is that I did NOT put thru on my wife's computer the VACUUM thingie - but today I see that she is able to close FF and restart it without any error messages. Again, this is at it was less than 20 minutes ago - but what will happen tomorrow..... who knows :-) . The only other thing which is now still to be resolved is why FF almost always starts up on it on accord when the computer is first started at the start of the day. Perhaps this has also been solved by the upgrades yesterday/today but I won't really know for certain until the systems (mine and my wife's) have been closed down a few times at least at night and restarted the next morning. Will report when I have some "facts" (so to speak).
