Dear Sir,

If you kill -9 the process, one cannot run firefox since it is locked. You
can make some trials. it would certainly give same result. The only way is
to do :
rm -rf .mozilla
but you loose all you bookmarks :(

Surely it is a reproducing bug :( safe-mode does not result positive result:
no browsing allowed ...:(

Best regards
Y.
