User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5

I found Firefox takes very long time on quitting after playing many Flash movies.

For example, I watch movies on http://v.youku.com/ (Chinese content). Then when I try to close Firefox, it takes very long time (many seconds) and I also observe excessive disk activities during this time.

I don't think it's normal, because I don't see this abnormal behavior in other browsers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://v.youku.com/ using Firefox.
2. Watch several movies.
3. Close Firefox.

Please try the same steps to reproduce under "safe mode": http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I just tried watching a few movies and I could quit no problem - under a trunk build. I will try the latest fx 3.5 release as well.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
