1) What were you trying to do?
Open Firefox
2) What happened?
It opens and then freezes. After I force quit, it opens and freezes again. It requires about 5-7 seven tries for me to get to the "Reset Firefox" / "Safe Mode" prompt. When I reset Firefox, I then receive a prompt that Firefox is locked a process (the number always varies when I receive this prompt). After clicking, "Okay", Firefox finally opens.
3) What should have happened?
Firefox should open normally.
4) Does this problem happen only on this workstation, or other workstations?
Other workstations
5) If you were following instructions, please include the URL or a
description of the documentation:
(e.g. a "problem set for 18.03" or http://ist.mit.edu)
