Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1289

I have browser.showQuitWarning set to true in about:config.

The issue occured when I close firefox when it has more than one tab opened, and then firefox will ask Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?, I clicked Save and Quit.

The output of pgrep -ai fire:

3216 firejail firefox -offline
3220 firejail firefox -offline
3225 firefox -offline

and then it becomes:

3216 firejail firefox -offline
3220 firejail firefox -offline

The firejail process keeps remain in the background and I had to kill 3216 3220 it, or else it will conflicts with other sandboxed process.

I cannot reproduce it here. Instead of pgrep, can you please run in another terminal "firejail --tree". It will tell us what process is keeping the sandbox open.

I reproduced this bug

Firejail doesn't exit automatically when machine-id is used, removing it make the sandbox exit

This happen when using https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js can't tell you which options make this bug

Edit : I have this on a fresh private=~/directory without the user.js or any plugins, can't find why...

There are other things not working when machine-id is used, among them PulseAudio. I know Firefox uses machine-id to synchronize bookmarks among other things. I'll close the bug it for now.
