firefox does not start

Sometimes, when you start firefox, you see this pop-up:

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

If this happens, try running our killfox script to kill off the old process. Just open a terminal window and type

killfox

and answer y to kill the old firefox process.
