FIREFOX says it is ALREADY RUNNING when it isn't
When you start Firefox, you may receive a message that Firefox is
already running. This can be caused by one of two things:
1) Clicking the "WWW" Firefox icon multiple times - Firefox may take a
minute to load on slower machines, and clicking it repeatedly will
cause this error.
2) Logging out before quitting Firefox.
To remove the lock file, do the following:
1) Ensure that you are not actually running Firefox on your current
machine or any other Athena workstation. If so, quit Firefox.
2) Type the following command:
athena% find $HOME/.mozilla/firefox -name lock | xargs rm
3) Restart Firefox by typing "firefox" at the athena% prompt or
clicking the icon in the panel at the bottom of your screen. Please
click the icon only ONCE and then wait for Firefox to start.
