           Summary: Firefox process keeps running after the browser is
                    closed
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: andreas-stangl at gmx.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc-Version 4.3.4 (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5)
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When running firefox 3.5 under KDE 4.x the firefox process is not terminated
after the browser is closed. After I close firefox and try to re-open it
afterwards, firefox refuses to start because of an already running instance.
Only if I kill the firefox process by hand I can re-open the browser. It seems
that this problem occures _only_ with kde 4.x, when using i.e. fluxbox or kde
3.5.x the problem does not occure.

Even after flushing all my settings and creating a new profile the problem
persists. Starting firefox in safe mode with all extensions disabled does not
help.

Could there be anything kde 4.x related that prevents firefox from closing
cleanly?
