Firefox 5.0.1 once closed, did not want to unload itself from memory along with a bunch of plugins - Had to End Process Tree from Task Manager
Firefox 5.0 and then 5.0.1 , when closed regularly, did not seem to unload itself and a bunch of plug-in containers from memory. I had to go into Task Manager and End Process Tree to clean it out completely. I am using Windows XP SP3

Check and tell if its working.

You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode (diagnostic mode). If everything works in Safe Mode, then it is probably being caused by an Add-on (Extension, Plug-in, etc).

When checking the plugins, it was recommended to update JAVA, so I did that. Ans so far the problem did not return. Thanks, guys!
