If you're not on gnome, you need firefox-gnome-support installed and
then this should work fine (although, in Oneiric and newer this no
longer works. Bug 867424 covers dropping the libgnome dependency for
this feature)

Title:
Quitting the desktop kills (not quits) Firefox
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When shutting down or logging out of the X session, Firefox is killed
instead of closed (the equivalent of hitting the close decoration or
quit and waiting).
This is a problem if you want to keep important files encrypted - e.g.
a crash recovery session restore won't (can't) be encrypted, nor will
journal files, caches, or other things. Actual crashes are rare so
this is probably tolerable or can be handled by encryption at higher
levels.
However when simply restarting Ubuntu (e.g. a system update) if I
don't MANUALLY close firefox first (and if I do it won't restart
automatically which I would really want) it will also leave these
files around. I do shut-down or restart fairly often.
A normal quit should do so in a way that shuts down the applications
cleanly in order for the applications to clean up any sensitive data
which might be left open.
Some of this probably needs to be fixed in firefox, but if you are
doing a "kill -9" it won't help.
