[Bug 830802] Re: firefox freezes and grays out

[Roland Dreier]

I have the same problem here, and I've noticed that even after I kill
firefox I have a bunch of plugin-container processes left around:

# Firefox main process not running:
$ ps ax|grep firefox|grep -v plugin
 6013 pts/11   S+     0:00 grep --color=auto firefox

# but...

$ ps ax|grep firefox
