[Bug 388151] [NEW] Firefox won't start in Karmic

[camper365]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am running a fully updated Karmic and when I try to start Firefox, it tells me that
"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." The problem is that when I do restart my system the problem persists.
I have tested this on both kernel versions 2.6.30-9.10-generic and 2.6.28-11-generic and the problem is present in both of them.
In order to report this bug, I had to set my prefered web browser to epiphany.
