I was running 6.2-PRERELEASE (?) happily until a couple days ago when I cvsupped to get 6.2-RELEASE, actually 6.2-STABLE. Now when I start firefox it works -- the first time. If I stop it, then start again, it never materializes on the screen. Logging out, killing XDM doesn't help; a reboot it required (and I have to remove it's lock and .parentlock files) "top" has shown it in STATE "kserel" burning very little CPU.

Any ideas? I'm using portupgrade to make sure all my dependencies are up to date. Anything else I should look for? Thanks.

Firefox got stuck in kserel as well.> I'm using portupgrade to make sure all my dependencies are up to > date. Anything else I should look for?Apparently portupgrade doesn't always work well enough. What I ended up doing was deleting all ports, updating my ports tree, and rebuild it all. That fixed the problem for me.
