Firefox3 Final - DO NOT USE
K-Meleon 1.5.1 (the latest) open source, free, gecko, but windows only, appears to work fine. It's fast too!

I've installed FF3.1 Beta 1 and it appears to have fixed the endless streaming problem.
Fortunately it installed parallel to my current FF3.0.3 installation, because many of my plugins didn't load in FF3.1
It looks like release 3.0.4 scheduled for final release on November 12th may also fix this problem. That is from looking at the 3.0.4 release page and the buglist page for 3.0.4

Found this comment on the Mozilla bug report.
Firefox 3.0.5 is scheduled for release on December 16th.
Apparently I'm not the only one that can't associate bug fixes to Firefox versions. Sorry about that folks.------- Comment #78 From Daniel Kabs (hello everybody) 2008-11-06 12:25:15 PST -------
Boris, that's good news. Thanks.
I'm having problems linking those branch numbers to Firefox versions. Does
"fixed on 1.9. branch" mean we will get this fix with the upcoming Firefox
update, i.e. Firefox 3.0.4?

This will be fixed in Firefox 3.0.5.

Daniel, Gecko 1.9.0.x is the basis for Firefox 3.0.x (with the same 'x' in both
places). So 1.9.0.5 (which is where this was fixed) will be used in Firefox
3.0.5.
Firefox 3.0.5 is scheduled for release on December 16th.
Good news. FF 3.0.5 has been released. I just upgraded and it appears to me that FF properly closes the stream when the viewing window is closed.
I confirmed this by monitoring tasks with top. When a stream is viewed a zms process is created. When the viewing window is closed the zms process terminates. Previously when I would close the viewing window the zms process would continue running.
