@ Micah Gersten, I am sorry to have posted as if the problem was solved.
It is not. Last post was about running Live CD ubuntu, same behaviour with FF v. 10.0, not with v. 13.0. Updates within Live CD did fix the problem, however, I also have 10.04.4 LTS installed on an IDE HDD, and problem still exists. Running Ubuntu as Live CD is temporary only, and also wish to point out that because of this being a Live CD, did not install linux kernel to latest version, as that would require a reboot to take effect, and all other updates made would be lost on restart. Again, problem is still extant. Besides, linux kernel updates would never take place when reboot took place (as Live CD). Hope this is clear enough. Please re-open this bug report so someone can verify and provide a solution.

Recently having trouble logging in (signing in) to Yahoo web mail account (last week or so). I have been certain I have logged user name and password correctly each time. Connection is HTTPS: Error results with something like 'wrong user name or password', enter full user id to log in. I will not do this, as I make sure I carefully enter password and double check user name for correct spelling and syntax before I click login. This results in my closing the browser several times until I successfully login to the account. Just noticed today that a "zombie process" for Firefox also starts with the browser as it becomes visible. Now there are two FF processes; one is the normal one, and the other, N/A for memory utilization, and where "Waiting Channel" is, is marked for 'exit' or something similar. Zombie process does exit within three seconds after being started. Normal FF process shows 94.6 MB and 'poll_schedule_timeout' in 'Waiting Channel' area. Is this a bug?
