This is a bug, I'm sorry but i misunderstood it at first but yes once
firefox is closed there should be no processes for firefox running. Can
you please attach a screenshot of the firefox lines from command ps aux
after its closed a screen shot of the whole desktop plus ps aux terminal
in front so we can see what is going on.I am unablet o reproduce this in
Hardy Firefox b5
