The update to adobe-flashplugin 11 caused this on every workstation in
our school district.  After browsing to a page with embedded Flash,
firefox-bin doesn't terminate unless killed by hand.  We worked around
the problem for now by reverting to adobe-flashplugin 10.3, but now
users are getting warnings that their Flash plugin is out of date.

Title:
  After playing several clips in Flash 11, Firefox wouldn't quit
  cleanly.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I played several clips in Youtube, using Flash 11... closed the tabs
  individually, then closed Firefox by means of File/Quit.  I expected
  this to shut Firefox dowqn completely.  It didn't, but left the
  firefox-bin process in a "futex-no".. something state.

  Please fix.  Firefox version is 3.6.23.
  Addons are Ad-blocker and noscript.

  Running Ubuntu 10.04.3LTS, all updates.
