I recently had my Firefox session lock up while I had a fairly

long email in a text area, which I didn't want to lose.

I did a "gdb /path/to/firefox-bin [FIREFOX-PID]", forced it

to return from the routine it was stuck in, exited the debugger,

and everything was back to normal.



Sometimes it's good being a nerd. :)
