Problem with firefox URGENT

[Richard]

Regarding the error - 
 
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it? 
 
This is usually down to two download managers working at the same time.
I usually get this when I have Synaptic running and then try to use sudo
apt-get install on the command line.  Make sure you use one download
manager.

Does your normal Firefox work, ie not the one you installed in /opt?

Alright, 

Here's the thing. I reinstalled firefox from the Synaptic but in vain.
Every time it is being prompted to be intitated from /opt/firefox to
which I do not have permissions to delete (tried out chmod but doesn't
work). 

Also there's conflict on the libstdc++ as when I try to install it I get
the following error. 

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it? 

I tried following the instructions as per this url:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&r
edirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava> &redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava 

to get my youtube woking on firefox. 

Do you reckon I have any solutions at this point of time? 

Thanks a lot for your help thus far, 

Rajat

And why do you think this could help? libstdc++.so.5 is not part
of the firefox package.

He has broken more than only the firefox installation. He could try 
to install libstdc++5 with 'sudo apt-get install libstdc++5' again, but
as long as we don't know what he has done to break it this way, this
might be not enough.
