[Bug 70402] Re: When you close firefox you cannot launch it again. It keeps saying Firefox is already running.

[Lödur]

Hallo,

to workaround this issue:
After closing firefox, I must wait some additional seconds.
Then I can start it again (without killing the firefox-process through the "System Monitor")


** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
  I am running 6.10 after upgrading from 6.06LTS.
  
  These are the steps I did though I think any results which launch
  Firefox will fail as well.
  
  1. Ensure Firefox is not running.
  2. Perform a search and select wikipedia.
- 3. Close FireFox.
- 4. Try to launch firefox or performing another search gives the dialog stating that Another Firefox is already running and you must close it first.

- Apologies if this has already been reported or if I havent given
- suffient information and Im still kinda new to ubuntu ( and linux ).

  to repeat it now.
