Ok, i have quit firefox and restarted it, and i can now go to other sites
but I still have that security updates process running, seemingly stalled
And I still see intermittent jumps in firefox %cpu to 10-15% range.
here is current
[root at f10 ~]# ps ax |grep -i firef

how can i tell if this update is finished or stalled or whatever?
I have never before seen this seemingly stalled response to doing
security updates.
Sam's advice was to not kill the python-- yum process.
What other options do I have?
Thanks for help
Jack
