Build ID: 20110922030907

Steps to reproduce:

I ran nightly.  At some point, I hit a flash site.  Days later, I was no longer browsing a site that uses flash, but the Shockwave Flash Plugin Process was still running, and was using approx 3% CPU on a core 2 duo laptop.  After restarting nightly, the process was not running.


Actual results:

The plugin process continued to run and use about 3% CPU even when I was not on a page that uses flash.


Expected results:

The plugin should be unloaded when not in use, saving CPU and RAM usage.
