This is so for a long time and it is the same on a friends pc. I suspect it is
due to something in windows XP tablet editon, but I'm not sure. It is no problem
at all on non-WinXP operating systems.

The problem is: when I shut down firefox, it remains in the memory. And it takes
lots of space there. It is also boring when trying to shut down normally. You
can see in the URL (which is a picture) what the exact problem is. Note that
firefox is not running at the moment of the print screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open windows XP (tablet edition?)
2. Start mozilla firefox, open some page, shut it down. Repeat this step enough
times.
3. After closing all windows, use task manager to see how many of them are still
in the memory.

Actual Results:  
Well... http://www.magic4you.nu/forum2/untitled.JPG as I posted for a url. That
is the problem.

Expected Results:  
Ha, going out of my memory of course ;) like all my other programs do.

I'm using a completely standard version of firefox, latest release, everything
normal as it came with the installation.

Benjamin, do you know whether this is valid or not?

It looks valid: I doubt that any of our QA folk have used Firefox on WinXP
tablet edition. If somebody wants to buy me a tablet I'll be happy to debug this ;-)

If Lenovo would hurry up and ship me my X41, I'd be able to test this out for
you. You know, maybe I'll just pop over to the computer store next door and take
a peek tomorrow.

Just adding another case.  Always repeatable.

Just tried out Deer Park Alpha 2 on a tablet at Computer Systems Center in
Toronto and it worked fine. Opened and closed Firefox several times (with
different combinations of windows and tabs) and was unable to reproduce.

This might be a 1.0.x thing, in which case we're not going to be able to fix it
anyway.

To the reporter and Erik: try grabbing the Deer Park Alpha
(www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox) and if you can reproduce feel free to re-open.
