This means you still have a running "old" firefox process somewhere on the |
| 21 |
box - it's a fun little Firefox'ism: If you upgrade firefox and have the old |
| 22 |
version still running, any new firefox window that you open will be exactly |
| 23 |
as you describe. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Do a "ps -elf | grep firefox", kill all the firefox processes that you find, |
| 26 |
then try again - I think you'll find your problem resolved. |
