Bug Description

This is much like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/198195 except that I don’t need to do anything: just close FF, and sometimes it displays this message when I try to reopen it. Then I have to kill it in a terminal.

try to disable all extensions in tools -> addons ... maybe something stops ffox from properly shutting down.

have you tried to wait some time? maybe it just takes a bit to sync its config files and caches on shutdown?

I don’t want to disable the addons because the time of occurrence of this bug is unpredictable.
Waiting does not help, even hours.

It's probably one of your extensions that is causing this behaviour. Please try to disable them so that the problem can be narrowed down. If you don't want to disable them, then there isn't much that anyone can do for you.
