Re a couple of posts.
If you use the cli to halt a process, use top. top accepts the 'k' or kill
command..it uses kill -15....not -9, works here.
I use Iceweasel & Firefox, it hardly ever has any issues. I do not
use 'gnash' to problematic, I use flash from Adobe, Debian's
package..'flashplugin-nonfree'. The most recent versions of Firefox sandbox
Flash well, this has reduced issues with flash , ymmv.
I run Iceweasel, Firefox at the same time..different users, a couple of vbox
instances..one of which runs Firefox & flash.. trouble free.

You shouldn't need to run as root at all. You just need to run as the

Oh, and killing Iceweasel/Firefox is probably overkill. If it actually
is Flash causing the problem, you can just kill the Flash plugin.
ps aux | grep nspluginviewer
if you are using Adobe's Flash plugin. If you are using the third-part
FOSS "gnash" plugin, I think this will work:
ps aux | grep gnash
Once you have the process ID, just kill it as normal:
kill <id>
(Use kill -HUP and kill -9 if necessary). On 03/05/2015 07:27 AM, Lisi Reisz wrote:

I have had this problem on and off in various versions over the years.
I do:
# ps ax | grep iceweasel
# <response>
# kill xxxx
Faster/easier:
killall -9 iceweasel
