      How to unblock Mozilla Firefox ou ThunderBird ?

Sometimes, despite their inherent quality, Mozilla tools refuse to 
launch saying they are already running (even if they do not appear in 'ps').

This is a bug in the user profile mamagement of mozilla.

Firefox create a lock file in his path saying he is running, and refuse 
to start if it found this file. It should erase this file when quitting 
… but if he crashs, the lock file stay !

What you have to do is only to remove this file manually. Look at 
~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird !

    * example :

find ~/.* -name lock
./.mozilla/firefox/meohxxz1.default/lock
