I'm trying to get linux-firefox running on a system that also has

You sure?
ps ax|grep firefox
killall firefox-bin
killall linux-firefox
killall linux-firefox-bin

I tried rebooting
but the message remains.

Rebooting shouldn't be necessary.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Same error. I even deleted the .mozilla directory.

You have a lock file somewhere that needs to be deleted.

It's either in /var/run or in your homedir, I can't remember
where I found it when I had the same problem, sorry.

I deinstalled both versions of firefox and deleted any reference to mozilla or
firefox. I carefully went through /var/run and /root. I rebooted and
reinstalled linux-firefox. Still get the error. This is getting old.
