[Bug 875538] Re: [Firefox 3.6.23] Impossible to open firefox because firefox-bin process is still running

 

Did some searching about Open Flash and came across these:

http://www.ehow.com/list_6940344_open-source-flash-players.html

http://www.red5server.org/

Don't know if any of those are what you're looking for or not. But
thought I'd pop them in for you to check out. We already have open
source java, why not open source flash? Granted the open source java
does have issues at times So, don't know if the open source flash would
do as well either. Especially since we seem to be having this issue.
Does the FF8 still have the same problems? Sorry for the possible wrong
links but I don't know much about codes, what's involved etc so I have
to do searches and hop that I grab the right info. Constantly learning
things from reading, asking and doing. That's why after two years of
dual booting I decided to go Linux all the way. Using Lucid now and
constantly checking out the stuff in Distrowatch.com  plus what I read
and hear about of others that haven't been included in Distrowatch yet.

Bug description:
  After upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23 few days ago, firefox does
  not work properly.

  At firt use after computer starting, firefox works well.
  It is possible to close firefox without any issue.
  But at second starting, firefox indicates it is impossible to launch firefox because firefox-bin process is still running.
  The workaround is to restart the computer, or simply kill the firefox-bin process.

  This behaviour happened right after upgrading firefox to version
  3.6.23, and is systematic with the profil user I use (it's an admin
  user).

  I tested with another profil (non admin) on the computer: The problem
  has not been reproduced.

  System is 10.04 LTS (kernel 2.6.32-33 generic)
