[Paul Crawford <875538@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also see it on my PC (32-bit 10.04, nvidea graphics) but it is not
always showing the plugin module running. One time this morning after it
happened I got this:

paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox
paul     29536     1  1 19:39 ?        00:01:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin
paul     29589 29536  0 19:39 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/plugin-container /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so 29536 plugin true
paul     32763  4940  0 21:20 pts/1    00:00:00 grep firefox

However a short while later it showed only this:

paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox
paul      9215  4940  0 12:01 pts/1    00:00:00 grep firefox
paul     29536     1  0 Oct28 ?        00:07:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin

As already commented, it looks like Firefox has closed normally, but
clearly it has not.

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)
