[Bug 659912] [NEW] Firefox frequently goes into loop when exited

[jervin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I'm running Firefox 3.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.10 (although the problem existed
on the past several releases of Ubuntu).  Frequently when I terminate
Firefox by hitting the X, I find that the task firefox-bin is still
running in the background taking up an entire processor.  Not sure if
it's affected by add-on's.  I have recreated my profile a few times, but
the problem always comes back.  Happen's multiple times a day, perhaps
50% or more of the time.  Seems to be more likely to happen if firefox
has been running for a while.

Firefox seems to be working fine while it's up, it's just when it's
ended that the loop can happen.  Perhaps it will happen when after i
send this problem report and end Firefox.
