Hi, I compiled Firefox 1.5 from ports but when attempting to start it I get the error message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I could not find any Firefox or Mozilla type of process running. I am starting it from a terminal and I get no error messages there. Ending Xorg and then starting it again does not help. Finally Firefox was compiled with -o -pipe -mtune=pentium4, so I doubt if there would be any problem with the build. Thank you. Rob Lytle ps. Mozilla runs OK, but I had to turn off java and javascript, and also block pop-up windows in order to stop the occasional 100% cpu usage and zombie processes. -- ------------------ http://home.comcast.net/~europa100 Rob Lytle Home Page
