Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 307147

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Lee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

If I have a power failure both Firefox and thunderbird will not start and complain that another copy is running.
This is very annoying as I have very bad power.
I then have to delete the lock files in the .default directories.
My problem may be linked to the fact my home directory is stored on an NFS share, but that is a guess, I just add this for information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load firefox or thunderbird
2.crash computer (pull power)
3.try to run firefox or thunderbird

Actual Results:  
I get the message that firefox or thunderbird is already running

Expected Results:  
The program should work out that it is not infact running and start.
