Well .. it is working like the upstream one, that's why its released.

If we knew about any bugs other than ones that also exist in the RHEL
compile, we would not release it at all, we'd fix it.

Ok... first, let me say that I'm anal, and log out of my workstation, not
just lock the screen, when I leave for the day, so *everything* I have
running should be shut down.

Now, here's my observations: I see four firefox processes running now. I
have two windows open, but there's also the original root of them (firefox
-P --no-remote). I can understand two other processes, since I have to
firefox windows open, but I don't know why I have three.

Looking at this now .. here is how it appears to work:

there is a wrapper ..

/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox

That is one process .. and it starts the rest
=========================================then there is a process called:

-childID 1

That seems to be the main broswer process .. all the things besides the
actual TABS.

==========================================
Then each tab you open spawns a seperate process .. so the first TAB
(that is your home page) spawns a process with '-childID 2'

===========================================
Other tabs seem to spawn an other new '-childID <X>'

So, it seems that the main process and the '-childID 1' process stay
forever // and some of the other Child processes start and stop as required.

if you do ps -ef | grep firefox, you can get info on the processes ..
and I an certainly not an expert .. but I don't see any issues.
