How do I restart Mozilla? I installed some software, and it told me to restart Mozilla. I thought this meant to close down the application, then open it back up again.

But woe is me, when I try to start Mozilla (by clicking on the icon, or by typing 'mozilla' and the shell). It tells me, "The program must allow a previous installation attempt to complete. Please restart."

I even tried rebooting, and still I get that ominous message.

Try:

killall mozilla

If that doesn't work, try ps -A see what's running and try killall 1100(the pid number) of any mozilla related application.

Rebooting should have killed it. Sometimes "kill" won't work, so you'll have to use "kill -9" followed by the PID of the process.

I think the want you to restart the installation process, not mozilla.
