Your bug "firefox is already running..." has been around for years. Why?

All of the replies to this problem have been at most, palliative. Not fixes. Each new version seems to have this particular feature. We're on v26 now - without it having been fixed. Should we start to think of this as a feature? A pleasant friend that shows up to waste our time? Take the management approach and just document it?

I think you could do better.

You would only get this problem if Firefox isn't closing properly, so make sure to close down all programs manually before shutting down the computer or wait a bit longer to give Firefox enough time to close down completely because it can take more time to cleanup and save all data.

If you are telling me you can't fix it - that in all of the years its been around - you can't fix it - well that tells me something.
