I fear we now have at least two bugs in this one report.
1 Firefox not releasing a lock, and thus blocking a new instance. In this case, 
no amount of waiting or starting new instances will solve the problem, just 
drastic methods like restarting the computer will.
2 Firefox releasing a lock after a new instance already found it locked and 
therefore considers itself blocked. In this case, you merely have to stop the 
new instances and start it again. The problem here is that you can't tell it to 
retest the lock.

Problem 1 would appears to be an implementation error; problem two a
design error.
