Firefox won't start

Firefox already running alert

Sometimes Firefox or the entire PC crashes, and when you log back on and try to restart Firefox it complains. Open a terminal and run this command:

/usr/local/bin/fix-firefox-running.sh

(For the curious, you will also see this alert if you log on to two lab PCs at once and try to run Firefox on both of them.)
