My Firefox freezes up when I have too many flash videos loading at the same time. Wrote a simple script to restart Firefox every time this happens.
#!/bin/bash#simple script to kill and restart firefox#20th August 2007#Writen by Danesh aka Danny##```#look for the firefox PID`` PID=ps -ef | grep firefox-bin | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $2}’``#locate firefox executable`` FIRE=which firefox``#kill firefoxCMD=�kill -9 $PID�``$CMD``#pause for 2 seconds``sleep 2``#start firefoxCMD=�$FIRE�``$CMD &``#End of script`
I will be adding more functionality to the script in the future. Once sure feature will be the ability to choose either to kill all running instances or just kill a specific instance.
