Hello, I got this issue where I’m logged into more then on computer at a time. If I have Firefox running on one computer I’m prevented from running Firefox on anther computer. This because my user account has its home directory mounted across all the computers. It appears that the lock file is preventing from running Firefox on the 2nd computer. What I have been doing is deleting the lock file in my home directory. Then I’m able to start Firefox on the 2nd computer. Is there a better way of doing this? Is there away to disable the use of the lock file? Now I could just exit out of Firefox on the 1st computer but what if I’m running a web app on the 1st computer. What if you are using a shared admin account to such as root or using a RBAC profile. If user1 is using Firefox after become root or assuming a role, then no other user can use Firefox as root or using that role. That makes it very hard to use Firefox then. Anyway this is mostly a UNIX/Linux question.

Hello, I thought I should update this post with the answer.

In order to get around the lock file. You can delete it or use profiles. If your running Firefox from a UNIX, BSD or Linux based OS. To get to the profile popup window use the -p option.

firefox -p

Which will look like the image below.

To get the popup all the time uncheck the "Don't ask at startup"

If you don't have a GUI running then you can do this.

firefox -CreateProfile profilename

firefox -p profilename

I hope this helps someone out.

Waka_Flocka_Flame, Thanks for the link, but I don't think it will help me. The issue is on a Linux computer. As for the file permissions I have listed them below. ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/zs9ok4on.default/lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 bitlord users 19 Sep 19 10:00 zs9ok4on.default/lock -> 204.37.14.24:+23346

OS:win7 x64 FX: v3.6 & v26 each firefox has a profile folder which locating in D: partition , in preventing being lost due to OS crashing .

I set the v26 as the default web browser in my Win7 . But , when I want to open a link form other software , etc a super link from word , or open a link from a IM software , even open a saved web pages in the folder , the firefox jump this dialog :

"Firefox is already running but is not responding"

It is really a harassment , I have delete the lock file , and uncheck the read only option , but It does not work .
