Firefox is already running, but is not responding.
I restarted the system but still it is giving the same error.
I removed lock files because this user is not local user so due to multiple instances it could cause the problem.

mail-unlock
lockfile-progs(1) Lockfile programs lockfile-progs(1)
NAME
lockfile-progs - command-line programs to safely lock and unlock files and mailboxes (via liblockfile).
SYNOPSIS
mail-lock [--use-pid] [--retry retry-count]
mail-unlock
mail-touchlock [--oneshot]
lockfile-create [--use-pid] [--retry retry-count] [--lock-name] filename
lockfile-remove [--lock-name] filename
lockfile-touch [--oneshot] [--lock-name] filename
lockfile-check [--use-pid] [--lock-name] filename
DESCRIPTION
Lockfile-progs provides a set a programs that can be used to lock and unlock mailboxes and files safely (via liblockfile):
mail-lock - lock the current user's mailbox
mail-unlock - unlock the current user's mailbox
mail-touchlock - touch the lock on the current user's mailbox
lockfile-create - lock a given file
lockfile-remove - remove the lock on a given file
lockfile-touch - touch the lock on a given file
lockfile-check - check the lock on a given file
By default, the filename argument refers to the name of the file to be locked, and the name of the lockfile will be filename .lock. How-
ever, if the --lock-name argument is specified, then filename will be taken as the name of the lockfile itself.
Each of the mail locking commands attempts to lock /var/spool/mail/<user>, where <user> is the name associated with the effective user ID,
as determined by via geteuid(2).
Once a file is locked, the lock must be touched at least once every five minutes or the lock will be considered stale, and subsequent lock
attempts will succeed. Also see the --use-pid option and the lockfile_create(3) manpage.
The lockfile-check command tests whether or not a valid lock already exists.
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Suppress any output. Success or failure will only be indicated by the exit status.
-v, --verbose
Enable diagnostic output.
-l, --lock-name
Do not append .lock to the filename. This option applies to lockfile-create, lockfile-remove, lockfile-touch, or lockfile-check.
-p, --use-pid
Write the current process id (PID) to the lockfile whenever a lockfile is created, and use that pid when checking a lock's validity.
See the lockfile_create(3) manpage for more information. This option applies to lockfile-create, lockfile-remove, lockfile-touch, and
lockfile-check.
-o, --oneshot
Touch the lock and exit immediately. This option applies to lockfile-touch and mail-touchlock. When not provided, these commands will
run forever, touching the lock once every minute until killed.
-r retry-count, --retry retry-count
Try to lock filename retry-count times before giving up. Each attempt will be delayed a bit longer than the last (in 5 second incre-
ments) until reaching a maximum delay of one minute between retries. If retry-count is unspecified, the default is 9 which will give
up after 180 seconds (3 minutes) if all 9 lock attempts fail.
EXAMPLES
Locking a file during a lengthy process:
lockfile-create /some/file
lockfile-touch /some/file &
# Save the PID of the lockfile-touch process
BADGER="$!"
do-something-important-with /some/file
kill "${BADGER}"
lockfile-remove /some/file
EXIT STATUS
0
For lockfile-check this indicates that a valid lock exists, otherwise it just indicates successful program execution.
Not 0
For lockfile-check a non-zero exit status indicates that the specified lock does not exist or is not valid. For other programs it
indicates that some problem was encountered.
