When I close Firefox (with "file » quit" or closing the last window), sometime,
there are still some firefox-bin running...
(I can realise it when I try to launch Firefox, and I'm asked to choose another
profile)
I think it began with a build released about one week ago...

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Close it ;¬)
Actual Results:  
`ps aux | grep firefox`  returns some firefox-bin running
Lauching Firefox ask you to choose another profile

Expected Results:  
Firefox should had closed "properly"

(Tested on a debian...)

This is not a dup of bug 237479. Bug 237479 is a different problem (where
closing the browser makes the zombies disappear, of course, as they are children
of the main thread).

Also, I've noticed that one may have to wait more than one minute after closing
the browser for the processes to actually terminate.
