Public bug reported:
Occasionally I need to run Firefox as a different user. The following
steps allows me to do this on my current X server.
1. Type "ssh -X someuser@localhost" in a terminal
2. Type "firefox" (optionally followed by a URL) in the same terminal
Running firefox this way works fine, however after quitting firefox and
pressing ctrl+d to leave the ssh session, the shell closes but sshd
keeps the ssh connection open, and the ssh client stays open until
manually killed.
The reason appears to be two dbus processes left behind by firefox,
which somehow keeps the X forwarding busy. When those processes are no
longer needed, they should quit automatically. Currently it appears the
dbus process is waiting for the X forwarding to shut down, and sshd is
waiting for the dbus process to stop using the X forwarding.
