[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

STR

1. Go to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=773068 in tab #1 and a different site open in tab #2
2. In the console in tab #1, type mediaRecorder.start();
3. Quit Firefox

Expected

The firefox.exe process should be killed.

Actual

Upon closing Firefox, the firefox.exe process remains running. Trying to re-launch firefox as a result throws a "Firefox is already running" error.

Randy - Have you had a chance to investigate this?

I'm wondering if we're leaking memory here. I've noticed that when a tab gets closed while recording is present, you'll see Firefox's memory increase significantly. Closing Firefox as well keeps the process running. Perhaps something isn't getting killed here on tab/application shutdown?

Sure, 
Now we are also handle the closing issue now.
I will also check the memory usage by using mozilla memory leak checking tool when run the test case.

Can't reproduce anymore. Probably was fixed by bug 894341.
