   Herman, I don't know if it's related to your problem or not, but both   
   Firefox and Thunderbird (and the related suites Mozilla Suite and   
   SeaMonkey Suite) have had the problem that you speak of (processes   
   running in background) to greater or lessor extents, for several years,   
   but usually on Windows systems.   
      
   If Jim's suggestions doesn't fix your problem, you might want to check   
   out the mozilla.support.firefox and mozilla.support.thunderbird groups   
   either on the news.mozilla.org server or on Google-Groups.
