This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.
If it crashes, there should be a crash-id. You can find it back in <about:crashes>.
yes, but is not a bug that the parent.lock file block firefox ?
Version: unspecified → 3.6 Branch

The problem is that the file wasn't removed because of the crash. In normal cases this isn't a problem (otherwise people would complain for every crash that they have), but here it is. That's why we need to know where the crash is. You reported a part of the report, but we need the FULL report. Please report the crash-id, so that we can look at it.
