Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:6129 Shondoit]:
 > When a users extract TBB to a privileged location like %ProgramFiles%
 then Firefox will start up with the confusing message "Firefox is already
 running. (...)"
 > The problem is not that Firefox is running, but that it cannot write a
 lock file. (see #4782)

 If this is actually the behavior, one of the steps we should take is
 filing the bug with upstream. That's a mighty misleading error message for
 "I can't write to disk".
