Firefox does not start after upgrade

quote:
1) Hmm.

Any firefoxes running, maybe as zombie after a crash.

What does:

ps aux | grep firefox

2) sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox

3) In case if you still face problems starting firefox, you can remove the firefox lock file & start fireox. The lock file should be located at /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/

Under here there should be a folder with random characters. Default like for example o6yxa08d.default in my case. You should find the file "lock". Removing it and starting firefox will work.
