Thanks for filing this bug. You are immensely helping us learn about how
logging out works.

Basically, when you log out of GNOME, it sends a "log out"  message to
all running GUI applications, and terminates them (except when a program
pops up a dialog that the user MUST respond to). Some applications can
handle this "log out" message, others cannot. Unfortunately, Firefox
doesn't.

The same thing happens on Windows.

Here is how to reproduce:

1. Open up a terminal in your favorite DE.
2. Type kill -TERM `pidof firefox-bin` in the terminal.
3. Reopen Firefox.
4. It should tell you that it did not shut down properly.

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
