It would take me a while to list them all, heck, just to get a list much list post them here. lol I recall abduction, tab utilities, last pass off the top of my head. However, I have a test session that has very very few add ons and it does the same way. Also, I run into this with other processes as well. It seems to me that some package or the kernel is not killing processes as it should. I just don't know what that is. Also, I forgot to mention, I run into this with Seamonkey as well. I only have two sessions for it but don't use the 2nd one to much. While a bit aggravating, it is no big deal to kill the right one on it since I usually only have one session running anyway. So, while it is Firefox that is buggin me, it's not only Firefox. I think this could be a deeper issue. It could even be a KDE bug. I dunno. I know when I go to boot runlevel, I have to kill quite a few processes that are pretty stubborn to kill. kill -15 usually doesn't work so I end up using -9 to get it to die. Thoughts?
