[Bug 875538] Re: [Firefox 3.6.23] Impossible to open firefox because firefox-bin process is still running
Some of us are already using a lower version of Ubuntu. I use Lucid
10.04. Don't want to mess with that.

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)
