When firefox starts up it checks if there is already an instance of firefox

the exact X mechanism it uses, I thought it was the X shared memory extension,
but disabling this with the --no-xshm option doesn't restore normality.
Thanks (and to Ian R as well) - that's very clear and helpful. What a
bloody stupid idea.
And while I'm at it, why the hell does firefox stuff live under
~/.firefox while thunderbird is under ~/.mozilla-thunderbird. Don't
these people talk to each other?
And ... relax ...
