Title:
Firefox leaves dbus processes behind
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Occasionally I need to run Firefox as a different user. The following
steps allows me to do this on my current X server.
1. Type "ssh -X someuser@localhost" in a terminal
2. Type "firefox" (optionally followed by a URL) in the same terminal
Running firefox this way works fine, however after quitting firefox
and pressing ctrl+d to leave the ssh session, the shell closes but
sshd keeps the ssh connection open, and the ssh client stays open
until manually killed.
The reason appears to be two dbus processes left behind by firefox,
which somehow keeps the X forwarding busy. When those processes are no
longer needed, they should quit automatically. Currently it appears
the dbus process is waiting for the X forwarding to shut down, and
sshd is waiting for the dbus process to stop using the X forwarding.
