Public bug reported:

This may not be a firefox bug, but it was the program run immediately
before this happened.  A system boot clears the problem.

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
firefox:
  Installed: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2

After closing my firefox session, I called up my script for SimCity 4
Deluxe and the wine console reported this:

err:winediag:FILE_CreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably
needs to be increased

The ulimit shell command returns:

john@john-12-10:~$ ulimit
unlimited

There is either something wrong with the firefox wrapup routine or the
system is not releasing file handles promptly nor properly.

I expected my application to run.  It has run earlier today before the
firefox session, and will run after a system boot.  In any case, it is
most annoying that the system is crippled after a run in the browser.
