Bug#567415: iceweasel won't restart after it crashes

[Gary Dale]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.6-1
Severity: important

After Iceweasel crashes it refuses to restart - even in safe-mode - 
until I reboot the computer. Simply logging out and back in again 
doesn't clear the problem.

This just started happening a couple of days ago, although I did see a 
similar problem in Bugzilla from last September.

I thought about /tmp and /var, since there didn't seem to be anything 
obvious in ~/.mozilla/firefox that I could delete to allow Iceweasel to 
restart. Couldn't find anything obvious in those locations either.
