Title:
  Firefox is reported to be running after I close it out.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running Firefox 3.6.24 which was installed with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
  There are 2 scenarios:
  1) I close Firefox, then attempt an Ubuntu shutdown.  A message appears (paraphrasing) "Firefox is still running, do I want to shutdown anyway?"  This happen ~20% of the time.
  2) I close Firefox, and the icon in the bottom tray disappears, but if I click on the Firefox icon at the top to restart Firefox, a message appears "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."  Even after the Firefox icon in the bottom tray disappears again, I cannot restart Firefox w/o getting that message.  If I then restart Ubuntu, I can re-open Firefox.  This happens ~10% of the time.
