When I try to launch Firefox, I get a message reading "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." I do not have a Firefox process running, and restarting the system (which is not something I generally like doing just to get an app to start) has no effect. The only FreeBSD-related message about this that I found talks about deleting lock files in ~/.mozilla, but I don't have any Firefox lock files. There was a Solaris-related discussion of this that advised upgrading, but I'm up to date with Firefox (running 1.5.0.1,1). I'm using FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3. Any suggestions? Mozilla runs fine, but I had finally made the shift to Firefox. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
