After a power-failure, firefox refuses to start. It only give me a
window with the title "close firefox" and with a text saying that
firefox is already running and that I either have to close that
firefox or restart the system. I don't have any firefox running and a
restart of the system don't help at all.

In order to start firefox, I had to remove both the symlink lock AND
the file .parentlock in my profile. If I just remove the lock symlink,
I still get the same error message. It is not that easy to figure out
that you have to remove the .parentlock file...
