Whaddaya know, I just crashed Firefox and couldn't kill it.
It absolutely wouldn't budge. I couldn't even close the window, which I
usually can. kill -9 was as benign as pwd.
Then I ran ps -el as suggested by Matthew and saw the letters usb
somewhere in the firefox line.
Hmmmm
So I unplugged various things including a digital camera, and as I did
the Firefox window vanished. I could then restart it without needing a
reboot.
Weird. But I know what (not) to do now.
