ok at this point 'fg' and 'fg +' are the same as 'fg %2', 'fg -' is
the same as 'fg %3' so neither will bring mozilla to the forground.
You would need to type 'fg %4' to do that.

Your shell seems to be putting new background processes at the
back of the list of jobs instead of behind all the suspended
forground ones.

Of course the reason you are seeing the lockups is probably
the bug quoted elsewhere...
