Well, then we can always go the other way, Alex. Let's write a player
that uses a format that is more efficient than Flash, only one that only
Linux users can use.  Where there is a will, there is a way. :)
Besides, such a project would also let the entire world know just how
important a player Linux is now in the PC game.  It would be so nice to
see them follow our lead for a change, instead of the other way around,
don't you agree?

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)
