error message: firefox is already running but not responding; restart or close firefox
well not the exact error message but tats the essence.
for a long time i used to restart my system until someone told me that there is a lock on firefox when not closed.. it is very easy to remove the lock.. just do the following
open up you terminal
type cd .mozilla
type find -name .*lock*
you just get a file name which contains parent lock
just do a rm "filename"

In my CS Dept Linux account, Firefox got totally messed up initially. Sometimes, it'll detect that the process is running, but that could be just because the lock hasn't been released, like you said. You could just kill the process as well, from command line (you might need 'sudo' privileges though)!
