531486 - Firefox 3.6b4 process does not terminate when window is closed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Frank]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2b4) Gecko/20091124 Firefox/3.6b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2b4) Gecko/20091124 Firefox/3.6b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When using Firefox 3.5 Beta 4, the process will not terminate when the window is closed. Im not quite sure if its a Firefox issue or a Windows issue as I have not tested it on a Linux or Solaris system. Its just really annoying to have to use task manager to terminate the process. 

Sidenote: I also have a build of Firefox 3.5.5 installed for comparison testing but it doesn't do this when I close it. Will include dump file and screencap in attachments

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox 3.6 beta 4
2.Close window
3.Try to open any Firefox Build with any Profile
4.Error message stating that Firefox is already running
5.Open task manager to terminate process
Actual Results:  
Process terminates only through task manager

Expected Results:  
Firefox process should terminate when window closes

Bug occurs with default theme as well as Nautopolis version 1.8.52

Do you get this with the safemode :
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode ?

Do you have the Zonealarm toolbar installed ?

Comment 2

[Frank]

No I don't. I do have the Norton toolbar installed though its disabled as it isnt compatible with 3.6 

Actually, for reference purposes, here's the list of my extensions.

Add-on compatibilty reporter 0.4, 
Chatzilla 0.9.85, 
Forecastfox 0.9.10.1, 
Foxlingo 2.5.1, 
Header spy 1.3.3.3, 
Infocon monitor 0.3.1, 
Live HTTP headers 0.15, 
Microsoft .NET Framework assistant 1.1, 
Norton IPS 1.0, 
Norton Toolbar 3.7, 
RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.0, 
TorButton 1.2.2, Update Channel Selector 1.5, 
WinAmp Toolbar 5.6.11.2

Norton Toolbar is incompatible with this build so its disabled.

Also, Ive run it in safe mode and it still happens, but only after its been running for more than a half hour and thats the same with it when it has its addons running. Next time it happens im getting a screencap and memory dump which ill include in the attachments.

Comment 3

[Frank]

Attached a dump file and a screen capture of the error message and the task manager.

Comment 4

[Frank]

Attachment: Screen Capture of error message and task manager

Firefox is using too much memory and wont close without killing the process in the task manager from what this capture shows

Comment 5

[Frank]

Attachment: WinDbg stacktrace for Firefox

The stacktrace really doesnt show anything related to the bug I dont think, im including it anyway.

How many bookmarks and history entries has this profile?

Comment 7

[Frank]

Zero. None of my bookmarks from 3.5.5 carried over to any beta past 3.6b 2, and it hasn't been recording history since then either.

Comment 8

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Does the same happen in a fresh profile? Any plugins which could interfere here?

Comment 9

[Frank]

Yes it does, always. Doesn't matter how 

And as for the second question, not that I can see, but it could be a plugin conflict. Will test and report.

Comment 10

[Frank]

Correction: It doesnt matter what profile you're using, its always occuring.

Comment 11

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Do you have Google desktop installed on your box and are you always using the profile manager?

Comment 12

[Frank]

No I don't have Google Desktop. I have google updater but not desktop. And I used the profile manager to load a clean profile to test this bug but it occurs whether or not I use my regular profile with my addons or when I use profile manager to switch.

Comment 13

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Can you disable all plugins for that profile and try again after a restart?

Comment 14

[Frank]

I did attempt that, and it continues to occur with b4 no matter what I try to do or change. 
 
The issue seems to have resolved itsself in 3.6b5 however, it behaves as it should when I close it no matter what profile I run it in, what addons or plug-ins are enabled or disabled, so on and so forth.

Ok, so marking it as WFM for the moment. If you experience this issue again feel free to reopen.
