Profile in use - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Profile in use - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
When Firefox Thunderbird Mozilla Suite or SeaMonkey is in use, it prevents access to the active profile to keep other programs from altering the contents or causing conflicts.

Remove the profile lock file
The application may have shut down abnormally, leaving the lock in place. To fix this, open the profile folder and delete the file,
* "parent.lock" (Windows),
* "lock" and ".parentlock" (Linux), or
* ".parentlock" (Mac OS X)
