I am on an iMac, 10.14.6 (Mojave)

Firefox stopped responding. I force quit it from the Activity monitor. Tried to restart FF using the icon on the doc - nothing. Tried to restart it using Launchpad - got a message that it is not responding. Activity monitor does not show FF running. Neither does a "ps -ef" terminal command. When trying to restart the computer, restart is stopped because FF is open... When trying to trash Firefox.app - I cannot, get a message that the application is open.

I guess I can force my computer to shut down by turning off electricity? Anything less drastic I can do?

I forced my computer to shut down and now everything looks normal.

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem as this can help others with similar problems.


Sometimes something gets 'stuck' and a system shutdown is needed to clear the problem.
