Whenever I try to launch firefox I get a message saying Firefox is

Restart the system... very funny... :-)
Then I try doing a ps so that I can find the pid and kill it...
LBSD1# ps -auxwww | grep firefox
LBSD1#
But it does not appear to be running. I've tried rebooting and
reinstalling the port.. nothing works.. HELP!!! :)
First check what happens: Try to start Firefox from a terminal
window (e. g. xterm) to see if any messages appear.
In parallel, have another xterm open and the top -s 1 command
running. Firefox should appear on top of the list, and look
something like this:
PID USERNAMETHR PRI NICE SIZERES STATETIME WCPU COMMAND
1496 poly 10 1040 49004K 37000K ucond0:00 151.17% firefox-bin
The Firefox's process name is firefox-bin. If the program doesn't
seem to react anymore, look what state it is in. As you should also
see the PID, try to kill it and see how the top output changes
(in most cases, the process should disappear).
