[Bug 326085] [NEW] closing firefox takes a long time

[Leonard Michlmayr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Closing firefox (using the window decoration X to delete the window)
reproducibly takes a long time (seconds). Sometimes compiz even pops up
the suggestion to forcibly close firefox, because it does not respond to
the delete request.

What is the desired behaviour?
One of the following:
* firefox closes within less than - say - 300ms.
* firefox stays responsive, removes the window content from the screen and informs the user that it understands the delete request, but will just save data (or whatever it is actually doing) before exiting. (compare Transmission, which does this nicely when the user requests exit from the menu)
