Description
A lot of firefox users complain that their firefox process remain in memory due to the java plugin can not be shutdown properly. 

for more detail, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275783

there are also another ~10 bugs have been duplicated to this bug.

for testing, you can just go to this site: http://www.izhuk.com/painter/, then shutdown firefox. you can see the firefox window disappeared, but the process  still can be seen in the windows TaskManager.

We need a method to force the java plugin shutdown unconditionally.

EVALUATION Problem was not reproduceable with 1.6.0 but was pretty consistent using 1.5.0_02. ###@###.### 2005-04-21 20:40:28 GMT Problem is actually also reproduceable with 1.6.0. Key to reproduce problem is to wait until all involved applets are fully loaded before killing the browser window. ###@###.### 2005-04-29 20:17:12 GMT Problem is due to improper handling of WINDOW_CLOSING event during WNetscapeEmbeddedFrame.windowClosing() Fix will be available in 6.0 B36 ###@###.### 2005-04-29 20:17:26 GMT
