Firefox Freezes When Restarting

[LegendarySandwich]

Just recently, when I restart Firefox it doesn't open Firefox up again, and when I try to open Firefox manually it says "Firefox is already running but not responding". I have to use pkill in the terminal to open Firefox again.

Please help, as I don't want to have to close the Firefox process every time I upgrade an add-on.

(I said "Firefox" a lot.)

Create a launcher on your toolbar to run the terminal command:


killall firefox

Give it a clever icon and click when necessary

type in the console:


killall -e firefox-bin firefox ; sleep 5s ; killall -e firefox firefox-bin -9 ; firefox -safe-mode

Nevermind, I seemed to fix it. I will post later if the problem happens again.
