I doubt it. Why should it ? Indeed, how can it ? If the browser is being
killed, it doesn't necessarily get any choice in the matter nor any chance to
clean up (even if it wanted to).

Consider what happens if someone turns the computer off ;-)

When asking yourself "for all OS's, all browser?" type of questions, consider that someone may, immediately after reading your newsgroup post, maliciously decide to specifically write a browser or OS combination which does not satisfy your requirements; then ask yourself what that means for your application design. In some cases, you won't care about such rogue browser/OS combinations. But in other cases (e.g. the security of your application server depends on certain behaviour), you will care very much.
