Yeah, that kills the process, but does not fix the problem. If I killed the process (4277), then tried to read a FF PDF document again, process 4277 reappears as defunct. It turns out that Firefox was gnome session saved when rebooted and on start up restored 10 FF minimized windows and I did not notice this until now. The problem is, the restore of the 10 FF sessions were munged. So I cleared/killed all the FF gnome session saves and rebooted. Everything is now back to normal. Thanks for leading me towards the problem.
