Details

We use a Job Object to associate Firefox processes so that all are torn down on shutdown. This conflicts with processes that need to live after the Firefox process exits, notably pingsender.

To fix this, applications which need to persist after Firefox is closed need to be created with the CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB flag set.

Generally, we should expose an interface to intentionally launch breakaway applications as this is a recurring issue - see Bug 1791675.
