I concur.  What I would also expect to see is Firefox maxing out both
cores for approx 2-5 seconds as it unloads firefox-bin and plugin-
container - this CPU peak does NOT happen if the user has been viewing
Flash 11 content off Youtube... from their standard player.  If I use
iPlayer or 4OD - it seems to close down cleanly.  There are also other
times when the cleardown happens neatly.

It's made more complex in that Youtube seem to use a number of playout
clients.

Re the unload cycle - it's almost like the UI is the only thing that
unloads when the problem is experienced.  You may have received the
issue earlier - IF the problem didn't stand in the way of ubuntu-bug
being able to submit the content.  However, if Firefox cannot reopen and
open the new tab - that incident is never logged.  To submit mine, I had
to kill Firefox-bin, then go and look at ubuntu-bug's doccos on how to
log the data to the local filesystem, then once back in Firefox, get it
to replay the incodent and push the data.

Bug description:
  After upgrading firefox to version 3.6.23 few days ago, firefox does
  not work properly.

  At firt use after computer starting, firefox works well.
  It is possible to close firefox without any issue.
  But at second starting, firefox indicates it is impossible to launch firefox because firefox-bin process is still running.
  The workaround is to restart the computer, or simply kill the firefox-bin process.

  This behaviour happened right after upgrading firefox to version
  3.6.23, and is systematic with the profil user I use (it's an admin
  user).

  I tested with another profil (non admin) on the computer: The problem
  has not been reproduced.

  System is 10.04 LTS (kernel 2.6.32-33 generic)
