I think I have solved the problem. 1 - I tried first removing plugin-container from /home/usere/firefox/plugin-container didn't make a change. 

2 - removing gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so from its location /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so did work!! no more problem since, no more processes running in the background after shutting FX.

Couldn't find the way to mark this post as solved
