    * deskbar/handlers/mozilla.py:
    When checking firefox version. Wait until the process
    terminated to avoid zombie processes.

Thank you for report, Henrique. But next time do not assign bugs by yourself. There is no clear one-two step procedure how to assign bug correctly so leave this task to bugs-wranglers.

2.22.2.1 is now in tree.
