My battery ran down while Mozilla 1.7 was running. When I turned the machine back on and started Mozilla, I was asked which profile to use, but when I selected the only one I have, Default, I got a message that the profile is already in use and I can't use it. That continues to happen. I have tried rebooting with an empty session, but I still get the message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (I'm new to Linux).
it has happened to me too in the past, but it was ok when i logged back in.
try this:
ps ax | grep mozilla
and then:
kill -9 <PID>
or:
killall -v mozilla-bin #kill all mozilla bins process
