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

 

I don't want to regress my system either. That's why when someone tells me to go lower I don't. My company used to use an older java. So when I tried to do something at home I wasn't able to get to some of their sites. Kept wanting me to downgrad my java. Wasn't any way in hell I was going to do that. So, if they mentioned to me as to why I didn't take a course I told them that I didn't have time to do so at work and at home I wasn't going to downgrade my security just to take some stupid course for them. That was when I had Windows, same thing with Linux too. Told them flat out I would never compromise my system for their sakes. I might be dumb at times but mama didn't raise any fools. :)  For the time being I have  my system monitor in the top pnl. Then right before shutdown I check to see if the FFbin is still showing there. If so then I do a kill process, close screen and then shut down pc. Guess I'll do that until they come out with an update or fix for this. 
Don't know if any of the links I posted before will do any good for checking into the open source flash or not, but check them out for what they're worth. Might find something there.

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)
