[Bug 578232] Re: ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Firefox doesn't close properly - unable to restart, popup says it's still running!

[trashanken]

When starting firefox in terminal after reboot:

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

...continues as long as the process is alive.

Clicking exit in ff-window closes ff-window but process is still alive
in terminal until I press Ctrl-C in the terminal which closes the
process leaving the prompt active as normal.

(firefox-bin:1527): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

Something is wierd with my .mozilla folder, I renamed it .mozilla_old
and now Firefox is closing and restarting properly after autogenerating
a new .mozilla folder.  ...aah, remember now. I copied a .mozilla backup
folder from my previous installation to get my bookmarks and passwords
on my new system. Probably some config mismatch with latest Firefox? Did
the same on my mom's when I did a clean install from 9.10 to 10.04 on
her laptop last week.

Testing stuff in the .mozilla folder... extensions folder seems ok,
backup'd xxxxxx.default folder brings back all my old stuff including
the new failing shutdown. With a new xxxxxx.default folder everything
seems to work as fresh.

Transferred the .mozilla folder several occasions before witout any
mishaps. Sorry for the trouble     :s
