I forgot to add that I only see this behavior on the Omnia 2.

This seems to be due to the FastStart service, which currently keeps Fennec running regardless of the command line arguments.

r=me with a comment change to explain why we're waiting here. something like:

// Wait for it to finish (since the system is likely to be busy
// while it launches anyways). The process may never terminate if faststart
// is enabled, so don't wait longer than 10 seconds.
