Well Jan, that is one of the first things I tried.  Anything that looked 
like it could be lock file of any sort I immediately deleted, but it 
didn't work. What did finally work, was Smoot's suggestion to rename the 
profiles.ini file, after which Firefox began working again.

Thanks for the suggestion 'though.
