There doesn't seem any clear indication of where problems like this really do
come from. I haven't seen any of the things mentioned in that thread (as far
as I can see from a quick skim through). I do have the problem of firefox
apparently shutting down, in that it disappears from both screen and taskbar,
but stays active behind the scenes, quickly building up to 99% cpu. I have to
manually kill it every time I use it. However, that's no concern of plasma,
and if restarting clears it for you it obviously is a plasma bug. I don't
know what to suggest, other than filing another bug report.
I haven't seen either of these problems, but with KDE it's often a good
idea to try things in a fresh user account to see if they are
reproducible.
