249120 - firefox.exe remains in memory after exiting, causing default profile to be locked for subsequent launches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239223

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Frank Pineau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

After closing Firefox, then trying to open it again, got the ubiquitous profile 
selection dialogue box.  Later determined it was because firefox.exe was still 
resident in memory, even though no windows were open.  Does not happen every 
time the browser is closed then opened, but is always reproducible after 
playing a Pogo.com game.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Browse to http://www.pogo.com
2.Play a game (which opens in a new window). I reproduced this consistently 
with "Word Whomp".
3.Exit all browser windows

Actual Results:  
firefox.exe remains in memory and will not allow you to re-launch the 
application with the default profile.

Expected Results:  
firefox.exe should terminate and release the default profile for re-use.

This was reproduced on two separate computers, one with a plain install of 
Firefox .90 and one with a "full-on" install and running Noia2 theme.  Both 
installs have only the DOM Inspector extension installed.

I am getting this same problem (more of an intermantant thing) with 0.9.2
