Comment (by mdean):

 FWIW, these are external, 3rd-party browser plugins being loaded by
 MythUIWebBrowser when the setting WebBrowserEnablePlugins is enabled.
 Based on the RPM Fusion bug, it sounds like frontend startup is hanging
 and, when interrupted with Ctrl-C, leaves 2 processes that must be killed
 with kill -KILL.  It's not so much that it's "failing to start" and exits
 with no errors as it's just hanging, right?

 Modified the summary/subject to make it a bit more descriptive.  I'm not
 sure whether this should stay filed under MythTV - General or be changed
 to Plugins/MythBrowser.
