To respond to this and the two related messages, I know because I
both manually descended into ~/.mozilla and looked at every directory
therein; did a "locate" (with a fresh database); and ran:

$ find .mozilla -print | grep -i lock
$

Also,

$ ps -aux | grep fire
$

And

$ lsof | grep fire
bash      59914 jester  cwd   VDIR       0,84        512 1530891 /usr/home/jester/.mozilla/firefox
bash      90239 jester  cwd   VDIR       0,84        512 1530891 /usr/home/jester/.mozilla/firefox
$

I confess to not knowing exactly what the last means; I don't
have any terminals open at ~/.mozilla/firefox, and if those
first numbers are PIDs they don't correspond to any running
processes.

Thanks.
