Comment 12 for bug 875538

I also see it on my PC (32-bit 10.04, nvidea graphics) but it is not always showing the plugin module running. One time this morning after it happened I got this:

paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox
paul 29536 1 1 19:39 ? 00:01:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin
paul 29589 29536 0 19:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/plugin-container /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so 29536 plugin true
paul 32763 4940 0 21:20 pts/1 00:00:00 grep firefox

However a short while later it showed only this:

paul@paul-ubuntu:~$ ps -Af | grep firefox
paul 9215 4940 0 12:01 pts/1 00:00:00 grep firefox
paul 29536 1 0 Oct28 ? 00:07:13 /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.23/firefox-bin

As already commented, it looks like Firefox has closed normally, but clearly it has not.
