Firefox Process Not Exiting

[Daniel R. Curran]

Seeing as the problem would now seem to be in the linuxpluginwrapper or 
linux-flashplugin port is there a way to fix this problem? Is there any 
work being done on it? is it a known bug? What would the process be for 
one to get the ball rolling towards a fix?

Thanks,
Dan
