This is a know issue that comes from a limitation on the atk signal,
affecting those toolkits sending the delete events in a asyncronous
way (Gecko and Java for example, but not gtk):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619002

Now we have landed new signals on atk to fix this, and probably we
will take advantage of it on the next firefox 4 point release.
However, currently the fix for atk/at-spi will be only included on
GNOME 3. If there are many people still using GNOME 2.32 + firefox, we
can try to push an updated atk/at-spi for GNOME 2.32 including the
fix.

Thanks!
