If I add a file as attachment in gmail then delete it, I am unable to empty it from the Trash. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a file as attachment in gmail by browse-and-select or drag-and-drop.
2. Send the email.
3. Close "Compose mail" tab.
4. Delete the file.
5. Empty the Trash.
Actual Results:  
Finder reported the file is still in use and cannot be deleted. 

Expected Results:  
Trash can be emptied.
I have the same behavior with Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista, except the file can't even be put to the trash.

The file can be deleted only after Firefox was closed. It probably keeps a file handle open somewhere.
Appears to be a dup of bug 578096.
I was unable to replicate this bug. My trash was able to be emptied.
Severity: normal → S3
