I had to do an emergency shutdown due to complete system lockup,

what profile to use (only one selection, "default"). If I tell
it to start up, then it says it can't because the profile is
in use.

Could someone please tell me how to convince Mozilla that it should
let me browse?


Look under ~/.mozilla for a file call lock (if memory serves me) and delete it.

Ok, I had found a file (link) ~/.mozilla/default/eno64hz7.slt/lock
and wondered whether I could just delete. Based on your feedback,
I deleted that link, and Mozilla starts up ok.

It might be nice if Mozilla had a way to to tell it to do that
itself.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
