Mozilla will not start again
This is totally blowing my mind. Thought I'd shoot it your way.
Occasionally (not always) when I open Mozilla (1.4.3, build 2004080513) and then finish with it it will not open back up later (ie, I check email, close mozilla and then it just won't open). Mozilla's bigsite didn't turn anyhting up immediately (ie after fifteen minutes). I saw some similar situations where Mozilla hangs, but that seems to be it failing to open properly, but at least the mozilla process runs and uses cpu.
I'm running CentOS which is not unlike RedHat Entprise2. I'm using WindowMaker as a DE and Mozilla is usually being launched from a docked icon.
When this happens I launch mozilla (command=mozilla) and it opens fine. Then I close it out. When i try to open it back up nothing happens (whether I use the docked icon or run from the command line). Checking the active processes I see run-mozilla running so I kill it. Then I try to run mozilla again to no effect. I don't even get a process for it. I run a killall mozilla just to be safe to no effect.
I am curently in this state (it won't run). Here is the contents of my ps-A file.

I can't get past this.
Exiting my session and logging back on solves the problem, but simply restarting Windowmaker without logging off does not solve the problem.
