I keep getting a message when starting firefox as user about an instance of firefox already running but not responding. When I run ps several times in a succession, the process number keeps changing as shown below: tom@laptop= / $ ps aux | grep firefox tom 8561 0.0 0.0 7664 808 pts/0 S+ 16:31 0:00 grep firefox tom@laptop= / $ ps aux | grep firefox tom 8565 0.0 0.0 7664 808 pts/0 S+ 16:32 0:00 grep firefox tom@laptop= / $ ps aux | grep firefox tom 8569 0.0 0.0 7664 808 pts/0 S+ 16:32 0:00 grep firefox tom@laptop= / $ ps aux | grep firefox tom 8573 0.0 0.0 7664 812 pts/0 S+ 16:32 0:00 grep firefox tom@laptop= / $ When I try to kill it with each of the process numbers it says the process does not exist. It doesn't seem to affect firefox which still starts and performs normally. Anyone else experience this behavior?
