Description of problem:
If the machine crashes or is power glitched then the users "profile" in firefox is locked, that user then can not start a new firefox after login without manually finding and removing the lock.

It would be good if the user login could clear any stale locks - it would be even better if the *nix version of firefox stored its state against the user home directory in the standard way rather than adding a poxy and troublesome "profile" system, it was crap in mozilla - its still crap in firefox ! Spoils an otherwise excelent browser.

Expected Results:  Firefox should start each and every time without ANY questions about "profiles"
