Public bug reported:
When I close Firefox, it often does not terminate entirely.
When I start Firefox again, I often get this error:
``Firefox cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use.
To continue, close the running instance of Firefox or choose a different
profile.''
This makes it impossible for a regular user to use Firefox without
having to logout or restart.
I know I can just open a terminal an kill it by: killall firefox, but
regular users don't know that and shouldn't have to.
I use Kubuntu 9.04.

PS.
Another thing that is extremely annoying is that Flash plugin often stops
working when using Firefox. Sometimes I can watch several pages with Flash and
then suddenly Flash stops working. Actually, this is the reason that I need to
restart Firefox all the time. I know that Flash plugin is not officially part
of supported Ubuntu, but I think it should be expected that Firefox will work
with it anyway. Not sure if I need to open a new bug on this issue?
