[ubuntu-uk] Strange problem with Firefox in 15.04 and later ...

[Simon Greenwood]

It looks like there should be something listening on port 59234, which you
should be able to identify from sudo netstat -nlp. My guess is that it's an
ssh tunnel if the application is bash based. It may not have been shut down
previously or there might be something else on that port.
