While this is not a fix, it is a workaround for those who can't afford
to have their machine down for any length of time. Simply dump the
recent Flash upgrade, and go back one step and the problem is
eradicated. I did this by loading SuperOS, Version Maverick 10.10 which
has the older Flash package.  I have disabled all Ubuntu updates, and
the problem is completely eliminated and there is no loss of
functionality using the older Flash system.

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)
