Could it be that you had an instance of the firefox deb (or another upstream
build) running?
If so, firefox might be trying too hard to detect whether another instance is
already running, but I suppose it's by design.
Good to know that you managed to resolve the issue anyway. I'll close
this bug, feel free to re-open if it happens again. Thanks!

Title:
firefox snap cannot be started: firefox already running
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
On my lapttop version 747 of the Firefox app is installed.
Whenever I try to launch /snap/bin/firefox I get a popup that Firefox
is already running.
ps -aux does not show any such process.
Rebooting and deleting lock files in ~/.mozilla does not solve the problem.
Best regards
Heinrich
