Is it possible to stop firefox linux sometimes leaving a process running after output?

I run Firefox 29, 0 - 5.fc19 on a BONE of 19 Fedora fully updated with the KDE Plasma desktop.
When I want to listen to the radio from BBC iplayer service, I open firefox and go to the site http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 and click on 'Listen Live', and a retractable player creates and begins to play.
If I don't want to see anything else, I close the firefox browser main leaving the retractable mower (child) firefox window, playing the Live BBC radio stream. But, if I may close this pop-out, I find that I can't restart Firefox because error message says that firefox is already running.

To restart the browser, I use ksysguard to kill the process firefox - usually around 120 000 K in size - first.

I have this a known bug?
The only solution seems to be to launch another main firefox window before closing the iplayer pop-out player and then close firefox main. It is a problem because I do not always go through this rather obscure way of doing things.

Hello, unfortunately it's currently a bug in the current version of firefox when you set your story to be erased at the stop of firefox (under options > privacy)-which is studied and train of attaches by the developers of mozilla with a high priority.

  • How to stop Firefox 18 to restore the previous Session after a Crash

    Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7

    When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I don't want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How can I stop Firefox restore the previous session after an accident?

    Please note:
    1 - my homepage is set to 'white page '.
    2. I configured Firefox does NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields, and passwords.
    3 - even in Safe Mode (with all disabled add-ons), Firefox ALWAYS restores the previous session after a crash.

    Thanks a lot for your help. I hope that my vote immerses you in the category "TOP 9".

  • is it possible to STOP firefox open a tab to perform a check of plugin, everytime I open the browser? I LIKE the version I have and find the additional delay caused by this to be quite frustrating

    as stated in my opening 'Summary' sentence/question...i'm becomes more and more annoyed by an additional tab (plug-in check) opening whenever I open firefox... I have plug-in versions that I WANT and I DON'T want or don't need to push me to update or to change them whenever I opened a window of browser... I've searched and searched and so far I have found no way to prevent this and was really hoping that someone could provide me with firefox a method to stop intrusive loading page again and again...

    I have uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player, that fixed my problem with tab plugincheck still of the opening. Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I think this plugin is the outbreak of Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled.

    Since it seems that you do not have the "Plugin for MetaStream 3', it may be that some other plugin is at the origin tab plugincheck opened pop. Try to go to (menu) tools-> Add-ons-> Plugins. See the list of plugins and see if any of them have an icon of red warning next to them. If one of the plugins has a red warning icon, it may be responsible for the outbreak of the opening of the plugin tab. Try to uninstall this plugin, or upgrade to a newer version.

  • Is it possible to edit Firefox context menu to the standard address for the displayed Web pages?

    Is it possible to edit Firefox context menu to the standard address for the displayed Web pages? Often, I want to save an image on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and press "Send Image" when I want to "Save Image under" and sit and wait for the default page - send an email to come, then shut up, juggling its dialog boxes "are you sure". It is a way of trying to manage a blunder. Basically I want an element directly from a page by email. Is it possible that I can simply remove "Send Image" from the context menu?

    It is possible with the Menu Editor extension:

  • How can I stop Firefox opening iTunes or ask me which application I want to use for the links from the itms/itmss?

    When I opened iTunes App Store link, Firefox wants to automatically open iTunes. In Options > Applications, I found the itms and itmss content types, which causes this behavior. I can change "always ask them", but when I do, I get a automatic every time I open the link asking me to choose between "iTunes" or "Choosing an Application." To avoid future pop ups, I check "Remember my choice for itmss links" but only after selecting iTunes or another application. There should be a third option there for 'doing nothing '. Is it possible to tell Firefox to ignore completely the content of the itms/itmss?

    Is there some prefs the protocol handler if you are looking for the topic: config page?

    • Network.protocol - handler.

    You just solved my problem - there is no Network.protocol - handler.external. itms or itmss prefs, so I added the Boolean values:

    Network.protocol - handler.external.itms
    Network.protocol - handler.external.itmss

    Set to false and voila! No iTunes, don't ask me what program to use.

  • Is it possible to force Firefox to remember passwords?

    As many have complained, there is a growing trend for websites prevent browsers, including Firefox, to remember passwords. It's absolutely maddening. Like most people, I have the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to the idiots, an excess of zeal IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change the ridiculous combinations, impossible to remember symbols and numbers. (Everyone really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find it very, very hard to believe.)

    First world problems, I know. However, my question is simple: is it possible to force Firefox to remember passwords? Maybe an add-on or an external program any? I know there are programs of password manager, but last time I checked, those who were practically worthless and did not support working as well as the Firefox built-in to remember passwords. Thanks for any help.

    Hello Andrew, Yes, you can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this restriction.

    in a next version of firefox, this feature will also be integrated directly in the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/

  • Stop Firefox from the stop pop-up ads on the Web site used every day

    When I select a link to a website used by day, Firefox said it blocks a popup window. I want to stop Firefox to do what I'm going on these sites every day and am tired of this irritating.

    Hello

    Firefox pop-up blocking settings are in the preferences - have a look in the Edit menu, and the tab content contains your popup blocking options. You should be able to solve the problem by adding the site that you are interested in the list of exceptions. Take a look on the article about it here.

    How can I place a STOP button on my toolbar. I would like to stop firefox from loading a page by pressing the STOP button, but I can't find it in the toolbar options.

    First of all, if you have the menu bar show. (File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Tools-Help), then you won't see the orange FireFox button because in the new version of FireFox button replaces the menu bar. You can believe that's the way you want by clicking on 'View', then place your cursor over "Toolbars" and check or uncheck menu bar. If you have the display on menu bar, click on 'View' then drag down to "Toolbars", then descend to the right and go to 'customize '; a click on it. Then, when the next screen appears, even if 'Reload' is not displayed on this topic, it appears somewhere upwards in your toolbar. (Mine was above the Google search box). Put your cursor on it and drag-and - drop to the left of your address bar. The "Stop" button should be left more than the button 'recharge' in order to get two separate buttons for these tasks. If the 'Reload' button is further to the left, then you get a single button that performs the tasks at the same time. I hope this helps.
