User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140605174243
Steps to reproduce:
View multiple videos in multiple tabs and then end them by destroying their tab.
Actual results:
View multiple videos in multiple tabs and then ending by destroying their tabs leaves multiple plugin-containers STILL executing and/or consuming resources. Firefox seems to be loosing track of these threads.
Expected results:
Firefox should keep track of plugin-container threads and when their associated tab terminates should terminate them as well.
If this is by design then the design is sadly broken.

It's by design (due to NPAPI compatibility/legacy reasons) and if you close the tabs with the plugin's content and wait for x seconds the plugin processes get closed eventually.

The reason I filed this bug is that the plugin processes are NOT going away. I have to kill them manually. Sometimes this screws FF up and I have to restart to recover.
If the spec is wrong and has bugs in it then it needs to be fixed. I don't understand how or why a spec can call for keeping such threads around forever... even if their tab(s) have been destroyed.
