Firejailed firefox process runs even after exiting firefox

I have configured firejail using apparmor and it's working fine. However, even after I close firefox there is a firejail firefox process as below:

Code: [Select]
~~> ps firejail
russellb  3958  0.0  0.0   7064  2276 pts/0    S+   13:51   0:00      \_ grep firejail
russellb  3210  0.0  0.0   4472  2696 ?        S    13:38   0:00  \_ /usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/firefox
russellb  3211  0.0  0.0   4484  2376 ?        S    13:38   0:00      \_ /usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/firefox

This process keeps running until I kill manually with pid. Whereas this is not the case with other programs, eg: for pdfreader the process exits once I close the program.

Could someone explain why is this? Is this unusual for a default setup?
