Re: [newbie] My Firefox profile is in use

[Paul Stejskal]

I would like to comment on one thing. kill -9 should be used as a last resort. Try kill (pid) first, then if it doesn't work you may need -9.

I want to use the "default" profile, but i get a message saying that Firefox cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use. How do I get my profile back? Or at least my bookmarks? Thanks in advance, >From a command line do ps -ef | grep firefox If that shows something like paul 7522 7511 0 Mar05 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /files/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /files/firefox/firefox-bin (paths may differ) then there is still a firefox running. You can kill that then from the command line with (in this example) kill -9 7522 hth, Paul
