Title:
  firefox exit doesn't preempt a bugged flash player

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I used firefox with a flash content on the web.

  The window was properly closed. However, trying to close my Gnome session says a firefox instance is still open. If I try to launch again firefox, then a message tells there is an instance already alive. At this point the "ps xf" command shows the below process list :

  Why Firefox doesn't preempt any bugged plugin in order to properly
  shutdown ?

  Thanks.
