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. Jesse Sheidlower
