When running 3 firefox instances with Outlook 2000 & windows explorer (not IE)
(order below) in Win2k SP4 , after closing the first and third instances of
firefox, the 2nd to be loaded, if left for more than 30 mins (approx) and then
closed, will exit the window but the process will be left running. Any
subsequent attempt to open further firefox browser windows will be met with a
request to create a new profile.
The order of opening: Outlook 2k, FF inst1 (http://www.wanderingones.com), FF
inst2 (http://www.gripe2ed.com), FF inst 3 (http://www.google.com), explorer.exe


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Outlook 2k to standard mailbox
2. Open Firefox inst 1 and nav to http://www.wanderingones.com/
3. Open Firefox inst 2 and nav to http://www.gripe2ed.com/
4. Open Firefox inst 3 and nav to http://www.google.com
5. Open explorer.exe (nav around HDD)
6. Wait 30 mins (approx) then close Firefox inst 1 & 3


Actual Results:  
Any attempts to close Firefox inst 2 only close the window and not the process.
When Firefox is restarted you are asked for a new profile.

Expected Results:  
Close the process
