Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
But this does not works.
Maybe it's because there's no "lock" file within the directory?
However the ".parentlock" file is present.
This file is generated each time I close (properly) Firefox.
It seems this file prevent from opening again Firefox: When I delete it, 
it's possible to reopen again Firefox without any issue.
Finally, removing the ".parentlock" file is another workaround.
