I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where a Firefox process
will not die nor will it display anything. (The problem seems to have
something to do with You Tube.) When I try to start up another instance
of Firefox, I get an error message that tells me to either close the
current process or to reboot the system. Rebooting is not a good
solution. I remember from the 'old days' that there is a cli command to
identify a process id and another one to kill a process. I've searched
my memory and the User Manual but cannot identify those two commands.
Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated.
It probably doesn't actually have a process running. It sees the file
~/.mozilla/firefox/05uz5zzz.default/.parentlock
and thinks it is still running (so even a reboot might not fix it). If
you don't actually see a firefox process, try deleting that file (using,
of course, your own special .default folder).
