Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0
Steps to reproduce:
Step 1. Log in on one Computer and start Firefox.
Step 2. Lock the screen, go home and forget about it.
Step 3. Log in on a different Computer with the same User (shared Home-Directory) and try to start Firefox.
==> Firefox is already running...
Step 4. Make everyone in the office crazy to find the machine you forgot to log out.
Actual results:
I'm working in a large Office environment with shared computers. I can login from any machine to my user-account; my home-directory is then just mounted on the machine. Thus if I forgot to logout from a computer once and did not close the firefox, I'm not able to use Firefox anymore until I found the computer on which firefox is actually running.
Expected results:
Firefox should give me the Name of the Computer on which firefox is actually running, so that I can close it there.

Hi @Christian, what can I do for now - set up a component; if isn;t the right one please fell free to change it. I observed that is marked as a "enhancement", so maybe someone from dev 's team will handle and decide about.
Thanks.
