Interesting 'feature'. Surely the app can be shutdown in an orderly manner.

This feature comes with firefox nothing ubuntu did to firefox has changed anything. Im gonna change this to a wishlist. I will talk to Matt on monday to see if he wants to keep this feature implemented. I think this is a handy feature to have but agreed its kind of annoying at times.

This is *not* a feature. This is a bug in the problem reporting mechanism. A problem report should not be generated if Firefox is closed by the shutdown process. The session recovery built-in to Firefox however is a feature of Firefox 2.

Problem report attached.

Yes, this is not a bug, but quite annoying. I just cannot get out of the habit of pressing power on my laptop and alt+s without having to manual close out all open programs... Programs requiring me to save data kindly give me this option and gracefully shutdown. Firefox should just close. Any update on this "bug".

I get the same problem, shutting down while firefox is still open, when I restart I get this crash report

Same here... it is surely a bug of Ubuntu, as it is not closing Firefox correctly causing a system error and not a Firefox error

@ John Vivirito
I still can reproduce it with Ubuntu 7.10 and the actual Firefox
