Sometimes when I am browsing some pages mozilla gets stocked and I can not close it. Usually it happens when I get into one of those flash pages.

I know there is a command called kill, which shows me the processes I am running in my computer, but I don't know how to see this processes or either how to kill them.

Any one knows it?

Please tell me how to view this processes and how to kill them. Don't send me to read from a page on the internet or don't give me a like unless it is very good.

I know it is bad to say, but sometimes I get some links away of what i want.

Try xkill or killall.

xkill will let you click on the application you want to kill. With killall you could try 'killall -9 mozilla-bin'.

I assume u r using a Linux OS! :-)) ... Just do ..

ps -aux ¦ grep mozilla

at the command line ... you will see the results... then do

kill -9 PID .. where PID is the process ID ... which U can find from your result..

For ex.. in my comp.. when I do that ps command, I see this result.. which is also
what u will see... This is for < ps -aux ¦ grep netscape > because I use netscape..

xxxxxx 26628 1.7 10.8 118652 112280? S 17:51 3:23 /usr/lib/netscape

26628 is the Process ID .. now if I do

kill -9 26628

It will kill the process... :o))

If Mozilla gets blocked when the Flash plug-in starts, then that means that you have a sound manager running. In my case this is artsd, but it could just as well the enlightening sound demon or yet another one. The blocking of Mozilla is considered a bug in the Flash plug-in.

So, instead of killing Mozilla, you could also try to figure out which sound manager you have running, and stop that one instead (using the same methods as described above). Once you succeed with doing that, the Flash plug-in will be able to directly conntect to the sound port, and Mozilla will resume its normal operation.
