Two things: 1) I've never tried killall, but I've had success with kill -9 <process number>, after looking up the process with ps -e (the process number in your example is 3728 - no doubt you know that but just in case anyone else is reading this bug).
2) Instead of kill -9 on the firefox process number, I have to kill -9 on the MediaDecode process number (I am usually watching youtube when it crashes, and am hoping the "Fix JavaScript related stability issues" in the 18.0.2 update will help with that), which must be blocking the kill -9 of firefox. Does killall take care of that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1117499 Title: killall -9 firefox fails to work in raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1117499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
