I also see it on my PC (32-bit 10.04, nvidea graphics) but it is not always showing the plugin module running. One time this morning after it happened I got this:
paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox paul 29536 1 1 19:39 ? 00:01:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin paul 29589 29536 0 19:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/plugin-container /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so 29536 plugin true paul 32763 4940 0 21:20 pts/1 00:00:00 grep firefox However a short while later it showed only this: paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox paul 9215 4940 0 12:01 pts/1 00:00:00 grep firefox paul 29536 1 0 Oct28 ? 00:07:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin As already commented, it looks like Firefox has closed normally, but clearly it has not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875538 Title: [Firefox 3.6.23] Impossible to open firefox because firefox-bin process is still running Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “firefox” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “firefox” source package in Maverick: Triaged Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” source package in Maverick: Triaged Bug description: After upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23 few days ago, firefox does not work properly. At firt use after computer starting, firefox works well. It is possible to close firefox without any issue. But at second starting, firefox indicates it is impossible to launch firefox because firefox-bin process is still running. The workaround is to restart the computer, or simply kill the firefox-bin process. This behaviour happened right after upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23, and is systematic with the profil user I use (it's an admin user). I tested with another profil (non admin) on the computer: The problem has not been reproduced.
