>Description:
	after a short while (probably depending on user input) some thread
	in linux-firefox remain stuck so that various things don't work
	anymore e.g. clocking on a tab doesn't bring up the corresponding
	page (you can still use the menu on the right to bring it up),
	and closing the browser with the '[x]' button on the border doesn't
	terminate it (the main window disappears, but the icon on the
	window manager remains). ps shows the following:

>How-To-Repeat:
	start the browser (on windowmaker in my case) and navigate
	a bit opening multiple tabs. It probably helps reproducing
	the problem to close a tab while it is downloading, or
	similar 'quick' activities, though i don't kow of a deterministic
	way of triggering the bug.

>Fix:
	no idea, this is likely a firefox problem so i just wanted
	to point it out in case someone else has the same problem.
