Hi !
I have the same problem with FF3.01 and Win XP SP2 !
Never had the probleme with FF2 since a long time !
The X at upper right corner should (must) have the same functionalty as
the File/Exit .
The remaining of a running firefox process in memory is not itself a
problem but I get the annoying message-dialog telling that "Still
running... etc" so this is definitely a bug !
