Public bug reported: When I close Firefox, it often does not terminate entirely.
When I start Firefox again, I often get this error: ``Firefox cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use. To continue, close the running instance of Firefox or choose a different profile.'' This makes it impossible for a regular user to use Firefox without having to logout or restart. I know I can just open a terminal an kill it by: killall firefox, but regular users don't know that and shouldn't have to. I use Kubuntu 9.04. ~ $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 ~ $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 Candidate: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 Version table: *** 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 0 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages PS. Another thing that is extremely annoying is that Flash plugin often stops working when using Firefox. Sometimes I can watch several pages with Flash and then suddenly Flash stops working. Actually, this is the reason that I need to restart Firefox all the time. I know that Flash plugin is not officially part of supported Ubuntu, but I think it should be expected that Firefox will work with it anyway. Not sure if I need to open a new bug on this issue? ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox does not shut down when closing all Firefox windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
