This is interesting. However, I don't think it's a defunct process. |
| 23 |
Currently I have 2 firefox windows (not tabs) open. In both windows I |
| 24 |
have 3 tabs. However, I have 3 'taskbar buttons' of firefox. 2 'legit |
| 25 |
ones' and one a 'shadow' of the existing one. When I ran 'ps aux | grep |
| 26 |
firefox' I see this: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
markh@octavian ~ $ ps aux | grep firefox |
| 29 |
markh 12288 13.4 11.4 863540 234916 ? SLl 11:27 4:49 |
| 30 |
/usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/firefox |
| 31 |
markh 16714 0.0 0.0 88820 740 pts/4 S+ 12:03 0:00 grep |
| 32 |
--colour=auto firefox |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I don't see any references to firefox anywhere else. This is a minor |
| 36 |
issue, but is a bit irritating. |
