I am running Firfox on a linux system (Slackware 14.1). Frequently, when I have terminated firefox (at least I think so), and I want to start it again, I get a message telling me that it is still running. In that case, I open a root console and enter "killall firefox". However, I somehow feel that things should be different. More convenient, at least.

If you have the tarball version from Mozilla then the Firefox folder needs read/write permissions for the user in order to do software updates. A easy way is to have Firefox in a folder in /home/ if the only user.
I changed the ownership of .mozilla/firefox from root:root (recursively) to my own userID. However, I do not see any automatic updating yet...
