I think this is explained by bug #557601 comment #8 - firefox blocks shutdown for important asynchronous events when you ask it to quit, but not when the session manager asks. I don't think attachment 608321 addresses this any better than the current code does, so a fix is needed for bug #557601 in any case.
I hope someone with more knowledge of asynchronous shutdown can tell whether my analysis is correct and can point to the best way to fix this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867424 Title: Oneric: On boot up Firefox always displays the “Well, This Is Embarrassing” screen.
