(2) this is the *most* annoying PITA: during a session, if you close down Firefox but then decide to restart it for whatever reason, openSUSE/KDE/whatever gives you the error message, "Firefox is already running. ..." and won't let you start Firefox until you "close" the already "running" Firefox.
I've had this problem a few times, and after a few moments it seems to shut down correctly on its own. Could it possibly be doing some caching so it can remember your tabs and what not?
AHA!
Thanks for the response.
So there just maybe a problem here!
I have no idea where the problem lies. I've deleted the Cache directory in .mozilla but the problem still reappears, so I don't think caching has anything to do with it. But then......who knows....
I think, Basil, you're misreading Michael's response. It a matter of the TIME IT TAKES for FF to write out your current tab settings - to the 'sessionstore.js' file, if I understand correctly. The cache in the sense of the cache of fragments and images is not the concern.
Try just waiting.
And how long is one supposed to wait? One minute? 5 minutes? An hour? Irrespective of how long, or my wife, waits, the error message comes up. "ps aux", as root, shows that a PID for firefox is running.
Or slap a watch on the 'sessionstore.js'
"...slap a watch on the 'sessionstore.js'". What exactly is this supposed to mean? :-) Please explain. Nevertheless, in all the many years that I have been using Firefox (and its predecessor) this problem has NEVER occurred on my, or my wife's, system - until 3.6 -- and maybe until the updates/upgrades to 11.2 which occurred at the same time. As I stated, I don't know which is causing the problem and which is why I am asking for an answer here. One of those "mysteries of life"? :-) I doubt it.
