I first logged out of X and back in. it turned out to be easy to do; but i cant be certain what did it: ps ax |grep -i firef showed 8024 as before just before doing: [root@f10 ~]# fg %8024 -bash: fg: %8024: no such job [root@f10 ~]# kill -15 8024 -bash: kill: (8024) - No such process [root@f10 ~]# kill -9 8024 -bash: kill: (8024) - No such process [root@f10 ~]# ps ax |grep -i firef 19058 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep -i firef [root@f10 ~]# we see 8024 now gone. So, one of those 3 commands, or their combination, resulted in killing the 8024 process.
