My firefox is doing the same thing now, but it didn't do it until you
forced me to get a Flash Update.  Every time I get my machine running
perfectly, you guys have me do an update, and something screws up. As
much as I hate Microsoft, I'm just about ready to go back to Windows
again.

Every damn time I close firefox I have to reset my machine. All I get is
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart
your system."  I close it, the task bar clears, then the same thing
happens when I try to run firefox again.

After three years of Ubuntu, I'm right up to my neck in your updating
scheme. You guys are upgrading, or 'improving' Ubuntu right into the
dumpster. That's your choice, I guess!

Title:
  firefox-bin still there when I close Firefox

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I close firefox and try to start it again, I receive the
  following message:

  "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
  window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart
  your system."

  So, I did a ps and this was the result:

  janus@mobileqcomp:~$ ps awwx | grep firefox
   6081 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/firefox
   6093 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin
   6097 ?        S      1:42 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin
   6980 pts/2    R+     0:00 grep firefox
  janus@mobileqcomp:~$ killall firefox-bin
  janus@mobileqcomp:~$ ps awwx | grep firefox
   6989 pts/2    R+     0:00 grep firefox

  It happens some times, not ever.
