Title:
  /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugin-container hangs upon Firefox exit, which
  prevents computer shutdown from GNOME

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
