[Bug 764621] [NEW] /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugin-container hangs upon Firefox exit, which prevents computer shutdown from GNOME

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Every time I exit Firefox before rebooting this host running a classic
GNOME session, it hangs there, effectivel preventing the reboot from
taking place unless Firefox is first force-killed. The cause seems to be
that Firefox's plugin container has a dozen of Gnash sub-processes that
won't terminate.
