I can confirm this in all firefox releases, including 3.0 Beta 3. Firefox sometimes has to be manually killed (sudo kill -9 <pid>) in order to restart it.

This seems to have gone away for me in Beta 4 Firefox Beta-1 Ubuntu. Florin are you still seeing this regularly?

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

This is still happening with firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This has been fixed in 3.0
This can be cuased by an extension but the core firefox was fixed.
