Then there's a problem with your Firefox installation. The most common cause
for these types of behaviors are:
[snip possible causes]
Are you certain you haven't in the past installed a generic mozilla.org
supplied rpm or tarball and forgotten? Could it be you uninstalled it but
have "leftovers" taking up space somewhere in your filesystem?
I am 100% sure i never installed a generic mozilla.org supplied tarball
or rpm on my system.
All software installed on my system are installed and updated by YaST,
and no dependencies or conflicts were found or ignored as far as i
remember.
Not completely true, i had to install the drivers for my videocard
myself.
1. /usr/bin/firefox = symbolic link to /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox.sh
2. /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox.sh = shell script invokes user's instance
3. /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox-bin = the binary executable
Same on my systems.
<snip>
So firefox seems to be working as it should be, but it is still strange
why with the original configuration firefox started twice after the
update.
Actually, with startup notification turned "off" you're just not seeing the
second instance starting and then dying... ;-) ... not a problem... it makes
you feel better! :-)
Already thought of that, just don't see the second startup now :-)
Maybe try running 'locate firefox' (no quotes) in a shell and look for a
second file called "firefox" hidden somewhere in your filesystem.
I did, no second firefox file found.
Maybe a stupid suggestion, but when it happened i looked with ps aux
during the "second start attempt" if there really was a second firefox
running.
I noticed this process at the same time as firefox was started:
/opt/gnome/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 18
Isn't that strange, as i am using KDE?
I don't know why that is started with mozilla.
Again,
Thank you very much for your help.
Greetz,
