Howdy, I have noticed something that really bugs me. I sometimes have a few Firefox sessions running. I do this because I have to be logged into a website with more than one user/password. Here is my issue. If I click the X box to close a session of Firefox, it doesn't seem to kill the process. I end up having to go to a Konsole and killing the process with either the kill command or pkill. Naturally, all the processes are named Firefox so I can't tell one from the other. That leads to me killing the wrong one at times.
My question is this, why does Firefox not kill its processes as it should? When I click the X and it closes, it should kill the process right? When it does not kill correctly and I try to restart that session, I get the error that the session is already running. This has been going on for a while. What can I look for or do to correct this? Also, after large updates, I go to the boot runlevel, kill any processes that shouldn't be running, then go back to default runlevel. Sometimes, I have to kill quite a few processes to get a clean list. While this is not just a Firefox issue, it is just the one that gets in the way the most. It seems there is a underlying issue somewhere and Firefox is just one symptom. Anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
