    keyword=surviving firefox on adaql*

    Here is a way to survive with firefox on adaql*, but probably
    not the best way. I'm sure Ole will supercede this someday.
    If anyone else knows better, feel free to follow up.

    Firefox may refuse to start because it can only run one
    copy on one account, even with many computers, thanks to
    apparent recent "improvements" (LOL).

    Run "firefox", if it runs, stop here, do nothing.

    If it complains there is another session, do the following if you
    are unafraid:

    cd .mozilla/firefox
    (and don't forget the dot (.) before mozilla)

    find the most recent directory

    ls -lt | head

    'cd' there (most recent directory):

    cd 5bxp606w.default
    rm .parentlock
    (and don't forget the dot (.) before parentlock)
