Recently, I've found that I'm unable to open Firefox after I close the program. I close Firefox with the X button on the Title bar. When I try to open it again, I am confronted with this: Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. I've looked in /.mozilla/firefox/profile but there is no lock file. Also, typing jobs at the command line shows me no jobs- not even things that I know are running such as Opera and Kmail. This problem is reproducable: I reboot, and I can open Firefox. However, after close, it will not reopen. How can I kill Fx so that I can restart it, without shutting down?
