Hi.

I get this when I want to start up firefox:

"Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window,
you must
first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I have both tride to close Firefox and to restart the system without any
luck.

# ps aux |grep firefox

firefox
dhcppc3:~ # kill 6444

Be more aggressive:
kill -SIGKILL 6444

and then I would suggest starting it from console. As you said even a reboot did not help you. You might see some more errors on the console.
