Oh good heavens. I have lots of add ons installed. It would take me a |
| 44 |
while to list them all, heck, just to get a list much list post them |
| 45 |
here. lol I recall abduction, tab utilities, last pass off the top of |
| 46 |
my head. However, I have a test session that has very very few add ons |
| 47 |
and it does the same way. Also, I run into this with other processes as |
| 48 |
well. It seems to me that some package or the kernel is not killing |
| 49 |
processes as it should. I just don't know what that is. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Also, I forgot to mention, I run into this with Seamonkey as well. I |
| 52 |
only have two sessions for it but don't use the 2nd one to much. While |
| 53 |
a bit aggravating, it is no big deal to kill the right one on it since I |
| 54 |
usually only have one session running anyway. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
So, while it is Firefox that is buggin me, it's not only Firefox. I |
| 57 |
think this could be a deeper issue. It could even be a KDE bug. I |
| 58 |
dunno. I know when I go to boot runlevel, I have to kill quite a few |
| 59 |
processes that are pretty stubborn to kill. kill -15 usually doesn't |
| 60 |
work so I end up using -9 to get it to die. |

Thoughts? |
