Public bug reported: I used firefox with a flash content on the web.
The window was properly closed. However, trying to close my Gnome session says a firefox instance is still open. If I try to launch again firefox, then a message tells there is an instance already alive. At this point the "ps xf" command shows the below process list : --- (...) 1478 ? Sl 0:26 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fp_settings_trusted_locations_fr 1508 ? Tl 0:28 \_ /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/plugin-container /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 1478 plugin true (...) --- Why Firefox doesn't preempt any bugged plugin in order to properly shutdown ?
