[Ryan Tandy <872714@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following up on a suggestion from Alex in question 174159, I checked
this on a laptop with ATi graphics (fglrx) and a VirtualBox VM as well
as workstations with NVIDIA graphics (nvidia-current) and the problem
only occurs on the NVIDIA machines.  I have not yet tested with nv.

Several people have suggested upgrading to Firefox 7 from
ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable and that does seem to work around the
problem but for our district-wide deployment we prefer to use fully
supported Ubuntu packages.

Other folks who are affected, can you comment on the possible NVIDIA
connection?

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.
