Hello SuSE people,

Running 10.3 64 bit after a new install. Saved the /home directory for
myself and two users. Moved all of the pertinent stuff (.kde & .mozilla) from
a 10.2 install into the repective new /home directories on 10.3.

Everything works fine for myself and one of the users. For the other user
Firefox cannot be started and comes up with a message the Firefox is already
running and it must be closed first. Firefox is installed globally.

I ran system guard and there is no sign of Firefox (mozilla) running. I've
tried everything I can think of including wiping that user's /home directory
and re-importing it. Can't find anything. Asking for ideas/suggestions
here. Anybody have any?

From a command line as root run the following command:
ps aux | grep firefox

then look for the PID number which is the second column

type this command:
kill (PID number)
