firefox-3.5.5,1 & Browser Startup Error

Error Message:
Browser Startup Error
The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I followed instruction from
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional?style_mode=inproduct
without any success
even with root install/run and chmod -R 777 /root/.mozilla!!
firefox-3.5.5,1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091212 Firefox/3.5.5

does a firefox-3.5.6,1 installation, instead of firefox-3.5.5,1 solve this problem?

Installing lang/perl5.8 instead of lang/perl5.10 solved the problem
 
I was installing firefox-3.0.15,1 & 3.5.5,1. both have a same problem in GNOME 2.28, but no problem in Gnome 2.24.
I'm going to swicth to KDE.
Does any one have this problem in KDE4 ?
 
Try running: [cmd=""]find ~/.mozilla/ -type f -exec fstat {} \; | grep -v USER[/cmd] (not sure if there is more elegant way :) ) to identify which process lock file(s) in ~/.mozilla
 
While firerox is running the only process that access this directory is firefox itself firefox-bin, and in the other occasions no process at all.
permissions are sufficient (I tested will 777 too)
no extensions, no addons ports, just a fresh installation.

same problem in firefox-3.6.b5,1
I checked mozillia forums, there was same problem that had solved with AVG plug-ins disabling.
But I havn't that extention.
I disable all plugins/extentions/addon and went to -safe-mode. stll same problem.
I should think )Maybe( It's related to perl5.10. I was trying to deinstall it and go back to perl5.8. but it can't deinstall!!, It reported that perl uninstalled, but perl is still there.
