[gentoo-user] Firefox not killing processes on close

[Dale]

Howdy,

I have noticed something that really bugs me.  I sometimes have a few
Firefox sessions running.  I do this because I have to be logged into a
website with more than one user/password.  Here is my issue.  If I click
the X box to close a session of Firefox, it doesn't seem to kill the
process.  I end up having to go to a Konsole and killing the process
with either the kill command or pkill.  Naturally, all the processes are
named Firefox so I can't tell one from the other.  That leads to me
killing the wrong one at times. 

My question is this, why does Firefox not kill its processes as it
should?  When I click the X and it closes, it should kill the process
right?  When it does not kill correctly and I try to restart that
session, I get the error that the session is already running.

This has been going on for a while.  What can I look for or do to
correct this? 

Also, after large updates, I go to the boot runlevel, kill any processes
that shouldn't be running, then go back to default runlevel.  Sometimes,
I have to kill quite a few processes to get a clean list.  While this is
not just a Firefox issue, it is just the one that gets in the way the
most.  It seems there is a underlying issue somewhere and Firefox is
just one symptom. 

Anyone have thoughts on this? 

Thanks.

Dale
