    keyword=firefox temp fix

    Firefox would not run on any adaq computer. A pop up came up with
    a message:

    "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a
    new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process,
    or restart your system."

    which I've never understood -- what's the point ? Why not be able
    to run a zillion copies ? (rhetorical question, not blaming anyone)

    I tried to delete the lock files and kill firefox processes but this
    did not work. So I modified ~adaq/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
    so that "Path=" (empty string). Then firefox works and you have
    to create a new profile each time.

    BTW, the old profiles.ini is here: profile.ini.bck

    We need a more permanent fix to this mess. I may try but it's not
    a high priority. Asking Ole to take a look.
