Thankyou. The Firefox people have merely removed their dependance upon
an unreliable resource, cross OS file locking. A prudent design choice.
If they come up with an elegant distributed lock protocol it would be
worth propagating universally in the light of the success of Firefox and
its consequent broad distribution. I see that it has already grabbed
perhaps 30% of browser users.

No, you didn't read what I said. Firefox implements their
own locking mechanism, so two instances of firefox will
play nicely together. The problem is when some other
application, that does not follow firefox's locking protocol,
tries to access the database while firefox is running.
