Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
But this does not works.
Maybe it's because there's no "lock" file within the directory?
However the ".parentlock" file is present.
This file is generated each time I close (properly) Firefox.
It seems this file prevent from opening again Firefox: When I delete it, 
it's possible to reopen again Firefox without any issue.
Finally, removing the ".parentlock" file is another workaround.

Title:
  [Firefox 3.6.23] Impossible to open firefox because firefox-bin
  process is still running

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23 few days ago, firefox does
  not work properly.

  At firt use after computer starting, firefox works well.
  It is possible to close firefox without any issue.
  But at second starting, firefox indicates it is impossible to launch firefox because firefox-bin process is still running.
  The workaround is to restart the computer, or simply kill the firefox-bin process.

  This behaviour happened right after upgrading firefox to version
  3.6.23, and is systematic with the profil user I use (it's an admin
  user).

  I tested with another profil (non admin) on the computer: The problem
  has not been reproduced.

  System is 10.04 LTS (kernel 2.6.32-33 generic)
