Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.6-3
Severity: normal
Firefox crashed (actually my power went out and the whole system went down in
an instant). When I restarted it, it refused to use my default profile.
Naturally the lock file in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/lock was still there;
removing this fixed the problem. This lockfile pointed to 127.0.0.1:5371 but
there was no such process running. (After I removed the lock and restarted,
the new lock pointed to 5543; `ps -p 5543` showed that this was indeed
firefox.) I think I've seen this behavior before but I can't be certain.
If I kill firefox manually (killall -SEGV firefox-bin) there is no problem.
Only if there's a computer restart does the problem show up (I haven't
tried killing the process and then restarting the computer before bringing
firefox back up; that might show the same symptoms).

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
