Done. Same old story. It worked for some time, then it stalled, had
to force quite, and when I try to restart it, it won't start.

These are the last lines from "strace firefox":

stat("/home/teemu/.mozilla/firefox/ppr8844q.default", 
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=2048, ...}) = 0
open("/home/teemu/.mozilla/firefox/ppr8844q.default/.parentlock", 
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 15
fcntl(15, F_GETLK

Note that fcntl is intentionally cut after F_GETLK, it is not
a copy-paste problem.
