It seems strange that this is so. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: use a tcp viewer to see this happening, then go to ebay, which starts countless tcp endpoints, then close your tab, all points will remain open.
It takes indeed a lot of time on Firefox 3.0; more than 5 minutes before the state changes; and then it takes again a lot of time before they are really ended. Maybe it is a workaround to set network.http.keep-alive.timeout to a lower value? http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
