Details

(Whiteboard: p=0)

We might not be able to solve the underlying issue quickly, but maybe there are some things we can do to avoid the problem. We could for example instead of throwing the error, show a progress indicator and wait for the old Firefox instance to shut down. Possibly also include a button to force quit the old instance after a while.

While the message in the title isn't exactly the same, this sounds like a dupe of bug 759206?
