Iceweasel run-lock stuck

2013-05-21 Thread Curt Howland 
Dear Debianistas,

Up to date Wheezy, I can't start Iceweasel. Every time I try it gives
an error, Iceseasel is already running and not responding. Stop the
existing session or reboot.

Trouble is, there isn't any running Iceweasel, and I just started the machine.

Logging in as another user, Iceweasel works just fine.

At this point, I assume that the run-lock file has been stuck on,
and when started Iceweasel sees this lock file and quits.

I did find . -name *lock* -print but there was no file that looked
anything like an Iceweasel, Firefox, or Mozilla, lock file.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Curt-

Have you checked ~/.mozilla/firefox/xx.default/lock ?

I'm using Mozillas with Linux for around 10 years and this was a common
bug all the times. If it shouldn't disappear after a reboot, than

$ mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old

That's it.

I didn't experienced this issues within the last years myself, but I'm
using Firefox, not Iceweasel. I experienced Iceweasel causing much more
trouble than Firefox.

This does more or less the same as I explained :D, it's just less
drastically :D.

Since I didn't experienced this error within the last years, I wasn't
aware about a lock file. Thank you for the much better hint.

Btw. that's why I recommended mv instead of rm, I even wasn't aware if
inside /.mozilla the folder is called /firefox or /iceweasel.

/xx.default or any other profile ;).
