I'm not sure it's an important feature (some may even think it's
a misfeature). But one way to attack it (short of looking at the list of
running processes) is to look at timestamps on "witness" files: most
browsers modify/create some of the user's config files at startup (and/or
while running). E.g. ~/.firefox/default/*/lock or some such.
I'm afraid it won't be 100% reliable, tho.
