F12 is exactly to save mol's session and exit. Now each time your start mol, you restore
exactly the same state.
This session is saved in /tmp (with the name molsession, I think). Just remove it and you
will be able to start mol from the beginning.
I don't know what kind of problem causes the freeze. Look at the messages in the terminal
in which you type "startmol". Maybe you'll understand. You can find that mol is stuck
although it isn't in real (infinitly repeated instructions for instances...).
If you want to force exit, type <CTRL-C> in that terminal, or type "killall mol" in any
terminal (and don't forget to remove /var/lock/mol if mol doesn't : if you don't, mol will
believe another mol's session is running and won't start again).
It might although be a problem with mac's extensions...
