So, it seems that no matter the version we still are having the problem
with the FIreFox Bin not shutting down and falsely showing Fire Fox
still running. As of now I have my system monitor on my pnl and always
am having to double check that its not running before shutting down the
computer. Otherwise if I don't pay attention to that and try to shut
down the computer it still might be running and won't let me shut down.
Damn thing of it is that it's not consistent. Sometimes I'm able to do a
shut down normally or even restart Firefox. Other times if I shut down
fire fox and try to restart it shows still running, and happens upon
shutting down of computer, not allowing to shut down. So, what gives?
What do we do besides keep the system monitor on the pnl to double check
before shutdown of computer or restarting FF?

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)
