By the way, it's firefox 6.0.1 on 10.10.
I went back into my .mozilla folder and found that the lock folder was broken. Deleted it. I'll let the list know if this helps or not. *Fingers crossed*

I see firefox-bin has pid 3485. I see no processes for 3487 or 3489,
even as root. Any other way I can see what these pid's are? Maybe
they're the problem.

I see firefox-bin has pid 3485. I see no processes for 3487 or 3489,
even as root. Any other way I can see what these pid's are? Maybe
they're the problem.
Those extra pids are threads. Use ps -p<firefox pid> with -L or -T to
see the ids of the threads
I'm running Firefox 6.01 (from Mozilla.org) on 10.10 too, and I get the
defunct pid as well. However, if I open the Add-ons manager, close it,
and then do a "ps ax", the defunct process goes away. The same thing
happens on Thunderbird. I guess whatever causes the zombies is somehow
related to plugins.
As for those debug messages upon closing firefox, I got rid of them
(except for the waitpid message, I don't get that one) after I modified
a line in the firefox script, /opt/firefox/firefox (/opt/firefox is
where I installed 6.01). It's just a simple path correction:
-------
# moz_libdir=/usr/local/lib/firefox-6.0.1
# invalid path. Changing to appropriate directory
moz_libdir=/opt/firefox
-------
I don't get the "firefox is already running" message though. That kinda
sounds like the problem may be due to a plugin that won't unload
properly and causes a firefox-bin thread to ignore a shutdown signal.
Then, when you start a new instance, firefox detects that it's already
running and generates the error message. To verify if it's a plugin
problem, I would start firefox in safemode (firefox --safe-mode) and see
if the problem goes away.

I got those yesterday when checking FF. I've not been able to recreate
though (I use SeaMonkey as my primary browser/mail/news client). I have
also noticed that lately I've experienced instances of SeaMonkey still
existing if I shutdown SeaMonkey and then immediately start to shutdown
Ubuntu. I suspect that part of it is due to the new cache system Mozilla
are using (many individual cache folders instead of just one) & it takes
longer than usual to clean those out on FF or SM shutdown.
It's also possible that some instances may get stuck in memory cache as
well. Next time it does it I'll run memstat and see what is still there.
BTW: FF 7 should bring some help regarding memory - see:
<http://blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote/2011/08/09/firefox-7-is-lean-and-fast-2/>
I've been running SeaMonkey 2.4 Beta 1 which uses the FF 7 core, and so
far it's been fast & lean compared to 2.3.x.

Firefox not closing
I don't know how to check, but I will close a session with the sound on
a video still running. If I try to reopen too soon, FF will announce
that a session is already running. I click OK, watch the tray on my
desktop, and when the FF finally disappears (7-10 seconds), I can start
a new session. If I take the time to shut down the video first, I have
no problem. HTH

[Please bottom post on this list.]
It does actually. I just did the same and find that firefox-bin is still
running, and:
Now:
$ killall plugin-container
$ ps -e | grep fire
and firefox-bin is gone. Looks to be enough info for the OP to file a
bug report. I'd recommend searching launchpad first to see if one has
already been filed.

I suspected it probably had something to do with plugin-container, just
didn't think to do a memstat.

I know I'm a week late but for anyone interested, one can turn off the
plugin container via about:config in location bar
filter for
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled
rt.clk./set it to false
see if problem goes away.

Good point. Details:
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins>
Note that you can disable individual plugin crash protection, or set
your own 'blacklist'.
