Bug Description
Whenever I try to submit a bug report from apport about a system crash (as opposed to a crash of something running as my user), I get a dialog popping up with the following error message:
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 is widespread, it's pretty critical to fix since it will prevent us from getting the bug reports we need from users for the development cycle.
