This problem happened when my laptop battery got empty and everything
collapsed suddenly while browsing using firefox. after connecting the AC adapter
and turning on the laptop once again, I tried opening the firefox. It first asked me
(Firefox profile manager) to select a user profile. And since I only have one profile
(which is the default), so I selected it and hit the "start firefox" button.
Then, I get the Alert message displaying "firefox cannot use the profile default
because it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new one".
neither top nor ps shows any firefox instances running.
This problem happened to me before but I can't remember why did it happen.
I am running Debian GNU/Linux testing.

Try removing any file named 'lock' that you find anywhere in your FF profile
directory.
