Thanks for taking the time and report this. This is not a bug but
intended behaviour. If you start firefox the profile gets locked (if you
open the profile you'll find a file called 'lock') and no other instance
of firefox may use this profile. Otherwise both instances would try to
write files in this profile and the profile could get corrupted. The
only solution in this shared enviroment is to close one instance before
using another. (It may also become a problem if you use different
versions of firefox on the same profile. This is often breaking the
profile!)

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
