305054 - Won't boot because it thinks there's another firefox process, but there isn't

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304970

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[aoeuid]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50215)
Build Identifier: 18 AUG build of Deerpark Alpha 2

On boot, it hangs for a sec and then says something to the effect "There's
another firefox process already running, please close it". 

I checked process manager, and there's no firefox.exe, but I suppose there 
are helper processes that it could detect. 

This happens after a complete reboot.

The previous alpha build worked. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox.
2. Read message
3. Click on it

Actual Results:  
No firefox.

Expected Results:  
Firefox starts
