Re: [DNG] Undead firefox

Hi Hendrik, It is most probably because firefox has threads now. It has to be able to restart a thread if, for some reason, the thread dies. By doing a killall, you're essentially killing threads before the main process which then make them respawn. Maybe this command will be more accurate, as it

[DNG] Disabling touchpad

My touchpad is absurdly sensitive, and I keep brushing against it by accident. I don't feel the touch at all, but the computer sure does. It can hapen while I'm typing and suddenly my text edit turns into a shell command in a newsly chosen window. I suspect even a few beard hairs can activate it.

When I killall firefox-esr it often (but not always) immediately respawns, reopening all the tabs. Sometimes I have to killall it three times for it to stay dead. Is there anything I can do to fix this? So it dies and doesn't immediatly respawn, but only when I ask for it to resurrect itself
