You may try to do a CTRL-ALT-F2. Log in and then do a ps -ef |grep mozilla
It should produce something like this: ----- ps -ef |grep mozilla big_bear 4023 2526 1 15:55 ? 00:01:34 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4029 4023 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4030 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4031 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4032 4029 0 15:55 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4722 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4723 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4725 4029 0 17:07 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 4762 4029 0 17:10 ? 00:00:00 /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-bin big_bear 5359 2626 0 18:17 pts/3 00:00:00 grep mozilla ----- Then kill the latest mozilla instance (not the grep one of course). In this case it would be kill -9 4762
This has worked for me so far. I first thought I had to reboot but I then tried this (you must use the -9 or it wont work) and it works. D.C.
You know, it never fails...I try to crash Mozilla and the email client and now they won't cooperate :-). It's like taking your car to the shop to repair a ghastly noise and it sounds fine when you get there. I will certainly give your solution a shot when the need comes up though. Thanks! Zach
