The first time it ran, it did some checks. During this time there was an unexpected power loss. Since then whenever I try to start linux-firefox, I get the error message "An instance of firefox is already. Close it or restart your system". But no solution works. I even did a 'make deinstall' followed by 'make install clean' a couple of times. All of no avail. Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get linux-firefox to start ? Thank you & -- Regards Manish Jain +91-99620-10329
