Whether tabs are preserved when you close is an option in Preferences (Edit>Preferences): it's the first option. If you close a Firefox window it also usually asks you if you want to keep its tabs. -- Marjorie ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] Undead firefox
Hi Hendrik, It is most probably because firefox has threads now. It has to be able to restart a thread if, for some reason, the thread dies. By doing a killall, you're essentially killing threads before the main process which then make them respawn. Maybe this command will be more accurate, as it tries to then the signal to all listed process at the same time. pkill -f firefox-esr or kill $(pgrep -f -d' ' firefox-esr) Or try to kill the main process and see if it works, but I suspect that's what killall is doing anyway.

[DNG] Undead firefox
When I killall firefox-esr it often (but not always) immediately respawns, reopening all the tabs. Sometimes I have to killall it three times for it to stay dead. Is there anything I can do to fix this? So it dies and doesn't immediatly respawn, but only when I ask for it to resurrect itself? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
