[Bug 851573] [NEW] firefox not closing properly; Ubuntu 10.10

[scott]

Public bug reported:


I close firefox, try to reopen it and a popup says firefox is already running. I have to pgrep the pid and kill it. 

Running firefox from a terminal I get :
** (<unknown>:3485): DEBUG: NP_Initialize
** (<unknown>:3485): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded
** (<unknown>:3487): DEBUG: NP_Initialize

It appears in the "bool KillProcess(ProcessHandle process_id, int
exit_code, bool wait)" function in process_util_posix.cc

// Attempts to kill the process identified by the given process
// entry structure.  Ignores specified exit_code; posix can't force that.
// Returns true if this is successful, false otherwise.

and the error in process_watcher_sigchild.cc is a simple

line 162:  LOG(ERROR)<<  "Failed to deliver SIGKILL to "<<  process_<<  "!"
            <<  "("<<  errno<<  ")

Another time I did a memsat | grep firefox and got this after closing the firefox window:

It actually appears like it has to do with 'plugin-container'. Should I
report it there, also?
