Firefox Already Running Error

To fix "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system" do the following:

  • In $HOME: find ~/.mozilla -name "*lock"
  • Delete .parentlock files, and any other \u201c*lock\u201d files
  • The files should appear in one or more directories named with random characters
