maybe this can help to fix a problem that occurres after i installed the better privacy plug in. since then firefox will not close down when i execute the quit firefox command. in the mac os x application dock it will still show as active after closing all browser windows. only a force quit will shut down the application

Reproducible: Always

1.install better privacy plugin and use browser
2.quit
3.confirm to delete all files with better privacy
4.application still active in dock although windows closed
5.open force quit manager with apple alt esc
