I've seen this happen with all of Mozilla, Firebird and now Firefox.

Re: Firefox Process Not Exiting
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?

I had this same problem occur on a Windows box the other day. My fiancee, a diehard AOL'er, sent me an e-card, and when I closed Mozilla after viewing it, the window closed, but I had a mozilla process sucking up all available cycles. I noticed this because the CPU fan went from its normal 55% on, to full up 100%. IOW - it may be something in Mozilla/FireFox itself. Unfortunately, Mozilla didn't technically crash, so I'm not sure how useful a bug report would be.
