Possibly fixed by stopping firefox first?
The other thing I try with this is to run something like: $ mount|grep sda2 The "sda2" can be replaced with whatever else is involved. That filters out a hopefully small(er) list to show if something is unusually mounted. Running "mount" alone opens up the whole list. Going that route helped me in chroot a couple days ago. An unbelievable number of /proc, /sys, /dev, and /dev/pts mount points appeared. I only manually mounted them once each. Manually umount'ing each point until none were left fixed whatever trouble that seemed to inflict on apt-get.
