(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 know this probably won't help at all, but we've had the _exact_ same problem with Thunderbird 3 on our XDMCP server. Users closed Thunderbird and logged out (aka closed the current XDMCP session) and it was still running the next morning when they returned to work, logged back in and tried to start it anew. The neverending calls and no solution in sight resulted in us reverting back to Thunderbird 2.0.0.23. To be fair that wasn't our only issue with TB3 but one of the major ones.
Also, I've had nothing but trouble with openSUSE's Mozilla implementation, which is in several ways different from the "vanilla" Mozilla version. Which is why I dumped Novell's failed attempt at providing me with a usable browser and email client, and just go to mozilla.org, download the latest .tar.gz, untar it to /opt and adjust the link in /usr/bin accordingly if necessary. Never had any problems with Firefox ever since.

Thanks for this. If today's upgrades to FF and TB haven't fixed the problem then I will go back to the versions from Mozilla itself (as I used to do a while back).
