In my case, this isn't a lock file issue. As I explained in my email that triggered this thread, the firefox process does in fact continue running after I attempt to close firefox. It'll run (consuming very little resources) for as long as it takes (minutes, hours, whatever) for me to decide to launch firefox again. At this point, I must kill the existing firefox process before launching firefox once more. Again, this isn't a lock file issue in my case.
