Yes, and everyone knows the blue screen of death!! It's so annoying.

It's not frustrating if someone starts with linux without using windows once.

Yes, I killed the parent process. Also after killing the process with firefox PID, the file equivalent to that process /proc/PID was still there. I think it could be - "likely I/O or driver related" or "stuck in a syscall waiting on some kind of I/O operation that isn’t timing out/is bugged out/can never complete".

Sorry, it was a mistake, I fixed the post. Also I tried many other ways to kill that process. Thanks for the BUSIER tip.

Sorry my mistake, it was pkill, but we also tried kill with process id, and we also tried killall. Every method that I knew i tried.

I knew it was something related to kernel. Now I have some some explanation of if this happens again.

 

My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn't work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can't stop that process.

crazy updates which broke normal functionality, absence of tiling window manager
