Jens, that's very likely bug 1588512. I already analyzed the crash reports related to shutdown hangs some time ago. I created a meta bug 1588498 for it with findings filed a dependent bugs. We should just assign priorities to the dependent bugs and fix them incrementally as time and resources allow. There are basically two major problems: 1. Timeouts caused by dead lock situations during shutdown (this was mitigated quite a bit some time ago) 2. Timeouts caused by doing a lot of I/O during shutdown The problem you described (bug 1588512) is probably caused by clearing too many origin directories during shutdown. If we want to prioritize it, we should investigate if the user has some settings that trigger clearing of all data when FF quits, that should confirm the assumption.
