firefox does process is not killed when closed

when firefox is started as any user I have to manually kill the firefox process (via ctrl+Esc) AFTER closing firefox before I can start firefox again in the same session. This problem does not occur when starting/closing firefox as root. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm running openSUSE 10.2

Do a ps -ae | grep fox

kill all the firefox processes.

Then try it.

Also, are you using KDE or Gnome? If KDE, I am guessing there was a bunk session that is running in the background, thus killing all before rebooting should clear that up. If Gnome make sure there isn't one starting in the sessions portion of control center.

I'm running kde 3.5.x. For some reason after rebooting I can now start firefox without having to kill the firefox process(es) after closing a previous firefox session. Strange! but now working(???).
