[Bug 916274] Re: Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.
I should add to my post #5 that when I originally posted this problem as a bug, there were no spinner progress indicators that appeared at anytime during the sequence of actions that I had executed. Also, I had a thought at that time that maybe the problem was related to Firefox needing time to unwind, so I did attempt, on at least 2 occasions, a sequence of steps w/ long delays between steps, but still got the same messages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916274 Title: Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.

Re: [Bug 916274] Re: Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.
Dave: Update - Resolved As of today (or yesterday - not absolutely sure), this problem I believe has been fixed (by recent updates?). In scenario #2, if I close out Firefox and then quickly reopen, the message box re Firefox still running will appear; however, if I close that message box, a spinner progress indicator will appear. Now, if I wait until the spinner disappears, and then reopen Firefox, it opens OK. Likewise, for scenario #1, if I attempt a shutdown of Ubuntu too quickly after closing Firefox, I will get the message A program is still running: ... If I close this message, a spinner progress indicator as above appears, and I can successfully execute a shutdown after the indicator disappears. Evidently, it is necessary to allow Firefox sufficient time to unwind the websites (tabs) that are displayed in the window or these messages will appear. The fix is that it is not necessary to restart Ubuntu to reset Firefox - just wait until the spinner progress indicator disappears.

Re: [Bug 916274] Re: Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.
Dave: OK. I got into the default folder and found lock, but not .parents. I deleted lock, shutdown firefox, restarted ubuntu, and was able to launch firefox w/o re-installing it. When closing firefox and shutting down ubuntu, I still get the message A program is still running: firefox-bin which has below it buttons to lock screen, cancel, or shutdown anyway - i.e., no change.

Re: [Bug 916274] Re: Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.
Thanks for the feedback. I checked that bug. The scenario is different than my experience. I searched my file system for mozilla/firefox/lock and /.parent and could not locate them.
