[Please bottom post on this list.]

It does actually. I just did the same and find that firefox-bin is still
running, and:

$ ps -e | grep fire
 5980 ?        00:00:09 firefox-bin

$ sudo memstat | grep fire

My _guess_ is that the
/usr/lib/firefox-6.0.2/plugin-container 6019
is not clearing.

$ ps -e | grep plugin
 5606 ?        00:00:12 plugin-containe
 6019 ?        00:00:00 plugin-containe

Now:
$ killall plugin-container
$ ps -e | grep fire

and firefox-bin is gone. Looks to be enough info for the OP to file a
bug report. I'd recommend searching launchpad first to see if one has
already been filed.
