Okay, here's the problem-sometimes when I'm using Firefox and I close a tab that has a video playing, I can still hear the video being played after the tab has been closed.  And when this happens and I try to close FF, it won't close properly (it gives me a message saying "only one firefox can be running at a time and I have to close it before opening a new one when I try to open FF after closing it) and I have to close it through the task manager before being able to use it again. 

FF opens and behaves fine most of the time and I don't think I have too many tabs open or anything because the problem has happened before when having as little as 2 tabs open. 

This started happening with FF 3 and above, it never happened in 2 or even in the betas of 3 that I used. 

It's not a huge problem, but its pretty annoying.  If anyone knows how to get rid of it I'd really appreciate it.

Try Killing the process

Ctrl + Alt + Dlt > Right click on application > Go To Process > End Process

That's what I've been doing.  I'm not having any trouble restarting FF after it does what ever it's doing, I'm trying to kill the problem itself so videos won't keep playing after I've closed tabs and I won't have to go into the task manager to end the process.

I've had the same issue with Firefox and I've never found a way to stop it happening other than the old task-manager-forced-application-death.
