Re: Firefox Process Not Exiting

[Daniel R. Curran]

Seeing as the problem would now seem to be in the linuxpluginwrapper or 
linux-flashplugin port is there a way to fix this problem? Is there any 
work being done on it? is it a known bug? What would the process be for 
one to get the ball rolling towards a fix?

Thanks,
Dan

I am wondering if anyone else has this issue and if there is a fix for

it. When I run firefox and then exit the program the process remains 
resident, and it starts eating up the CPU. Does anyone know of a fix
for this. I have been manually killing the process, but this seems
like a horrible way to work with the program.
     

One more vote from me. Same behaviour with firebird too. So it's not
newly introduced...
   

I've seen this happen with all of Mozilla, Firebird and now Firefox.
It's only certain web sites that trigger the effect, and it seems to
happen on sites which make use of a large amount of Flash stuff -- the
effect is even caused by Macromedia's test page at
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ -- although quite often
what happens is that the flash infexted page will only load once (if
at all) and after that the whole browser freezes up and has to be
killed from the command line.
I'd say it's more likely a bug in the linuxpluginwrapper or
linux-flashplugin ports.
