[gutsy] firefox doesnt close down properly when logging off

Asked by ChrisC

If you leave a firefox window open and log off, when you log back in
and start firefox again, you will get a message about firefox
not being shutdown properly, giving you a choice to start a
new session or continue with the old session

shouldn't the window manager or xorg send sigterm to all
the applications started with the wm ?

shouldn't xorg or applications running on top of it ensure a clean
shutdown when the user logs off ?

Try going power button at the top right of the screen --> hit Switch user
Do not hit log off.

Can you help with this problem?
