For what it's worth in another's observation :: I've experienced
something similar with both Icecat and Opera.. By "similar", mine
EVENTUALLY closes, it just takes it sometimes ten minutes to do so..

Don't recall how I first heard of the program but I've gone to System
Monitor (System Tools > System Monitor in Knoppix/Linux) and watched
both Icecat and Opera sit there taking their good old timing closing
down.. MIGHT have something to do with how they're using memory..

Three, four minutes after I've shut mine down, System Monitor's
reported memory stat for either browser very slowly inches *up* before
it then just as slowly goes down until it finally shuts down
completely.. During that LONG shutdown process, I have in the past
received the referenced/reported error message that another instance
of the browser is already open if I try to open another session in the
meantime..

For what it's *also* worth, I'm running my system off of the live
Knoppix DVD plus a 2gb stick of memory.. To that end, I've always just
put the blame for the long shutdown process on my hardware
limitations.. Have used System Monitor's "kill" switch in the past but
not lately as I hate to chance losing any of the previous browser
session's data in the process.. My fix these days has been to just
walk away and do chores until it's finished chugging along.. :D
