Description of problem: Mozilla processes continue to run even after the Mozilla window is closed. This means that the next time Mozilla is run Mozilla complains that the "default" profile is already being used and that another profile needs to be created to run Mozilla. Killing the Mozilla process manually resolves this issue and the "default" profile can be used again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4-4.i386.rpm How reproducible: almost always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Mozilla in "default" proile. 2.Close Mozilla window and log out of account. 3.Log back into account and start Mozilla. Actual results: Mozilla stated "default" profile was already being used. Expected results: The Mozilla process would die when the Mozilla window was closed or the "default" account would be usable after a Mozilla window was closed and the user account was closed. Additional info: This is a minor inconvenience for someone who knows that the Mozilla process is still running and needs to be killed manually to access the "default" profile again. However, inexperienced users were stuck and did not know what to do.

Oops, the previous comment should read This bug seems to be very close to Bug# 84596 if not a duplicate.
I have not noticed this problem lately, perhaps the bug has been fixed.
I haven't seen it in a while, but I'm pretty sure it's still a problem. Darin, who does lots of the networking for the browser, says that it will be fixed as part of the DNS rewrite that he's been working on. It's actually a delay, not a true hang. Once the DNS request in question times out, the browser will exit.
Does the problem still exist in the current version?
