Title:
  firefox won't reopen after closed session w popup

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  a workaround is to kill firefox-bin process  left open after firefox
  closed.  A new firefox session can then be opened.  This seemed to
  start after a firefox update where none of the old plug-ins were
  supported so they were all turned off by the update.  I don't know for
  sure that had anything to do with it but it seemed like it might be
  related.
