Hi Guys,
Sorry if I upset someone by using the MS/OE reply system. I know no better - tho' I suppose I could create new message - but then you may not know to what I refer??? Anyway, I didn't realise the whole digest would be sent back - I'll try harder!
Any of you guys using Firefox? Can you tell me why I can't close it (v.1.0) and disconnect from web. I have to switch my machine off and reboot to kill the connection!
Best regards,
Bob Dove (henceforth BD)

Hi Bob. No idea. However, if you look at your processes in a console by using the command "ps aux" you will see the process id (pid) that will terminate that firefox session if you send the KILL command. eg:
jenny@phaedrus:~$ ps aux | grep firefox jenny 3654 0.0 7.1 56020 36496 ? S 14:55 0:00 /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin -contentLocale en-US -UILocale en-US
jenny 3656 0.0 0.1 1544 516 ttyp1 S 14:55 0:00 grep firefox jenny@phaedrus:~$ kill 3654
This will save you from rebooting your computer each time you get stuck. Do the log messages in /var/log show anything helpful?
Jenny
