Dave:
	OK.  I got into the default folder and found lock, but not .parents.  I
deleted lock, shutdown firefox, restarted ubuntu, and was able to launch
firefox w/o re-installing it.  When closing firefox and shutting down
ubuntu, I still get the message "A program is still running:
firefox-bin" which has below it buttons to "lock screen", "cancel", or
"shutdown anyway" - i.e., no change.

Bill

You have (or maybe just typed) The directory where both lock files are located wrong. Copy/paste these commands:
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/
cd `ls | grep default`

Now you should be in the right directory.

Title:
  Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running Firefox 3.6.24 which was installed with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
  There are 2 scenarios:
  1) I close Firefox, then attempt an Ubuntu shutdown.  A message appears (paraphrasing) "Firefox is still running, do I want to shutdown anyway?"  This happen ~20% of the time.
  2) I close Firefox, and the icon in the bottom tray disappears, but if I click on the Firefox icon at the top to restart Firefox, a message appears "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."  Even after the Firefox icon in the bottom tray disappears again, I cannot restart Firefox w/o getting that message.  If I then restart Ubuntu, I can re-open Firefox.  This happens ~10% of the time.
