Comment (by mikeperry):
I just hit this on 4.0-alpha-2 on Linux after a laptop crash while the
browser was open. I needed to remove
Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/.parentlock and
Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/lock. There might also
have been some weird interaction with my apparmor profile too.
I am wondering if we can read the lock file, extract the PID, check if it
is still running, and if not, simply remove the lock files? We could do
this in either Firefox proper, or the wrappers. Kind of surprised Firefox
doesn't already attempt this check.. Maybe it does on some platforms, and
maybe my apparmor profile issue was just blocking it this time.
