this is an absolute bullshit error and #1 reason why i am tempted to just not use firefox anymore.

@not_benis it's not a stuck firefox instance. it's firefox running and then deciding to lose connection to dbus or something, proceeding to shit itself. killing and restarting doesn't fix it, using another profile does. it's annoying.

@bonifartius @not_benis I guess it has some PID file somewhere and you have to delete it before starting a new instance. strace can help to find ouy what it looks for to fix it. or maybe it allows multiple instances somewhere in settings, possibly.

@iron_bug @not_benis there is a lock file in the profile directory, but that's properly removed when exiting. i suspect it's a dbus problem of some kind.
