This is related to the problem double clicking firefox icon if it starts firefox with only one click. Firefox is started twice in such cases, one instance failing to lock the profile.
After starting firefox there is a window of about 200ms you can start additional firefox instances all trying to get exclusive access to the active profile. later additionaly started firefox instances do what is expected: open a new tab within the running instance.
Firefox locks the profile way to late. This has to be done way further within the startup and initialization code ...

Title:
  firefox refuses to start and pretend to be already running

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Here are the messages 
  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.

  (firefox-bin:2686): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
  Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xb4948d60)" of type `GString'

  I have had to find the way for changing default browser in order to be
  abble to send this report (with firefow as default, no report could be
  sent.

  My system results from an update of xubuntu 904 to xubuntu 910

  Maybe  the minor environment error about colour installation results in a wrong error treatment doubling the call to firefox ??
  Note that thunderbird also pretends to be called twice but does start
