Lolu chungechunge lwabekwa kunqolobane. Uyacelwa ubuze umbuzo omusha uma udinga usizo.

Closing firefox (4 or 5) doesnt always kill the process. So later (even hours later) when I try to open up firefox, I get a message that an instance is already running. Its not killing the process. I have to kill it manually.
