As root it doesn't effect them?  Are they showing up as defunct or
something?  If they're defunct, then you're stuck with tehm til you reboot
the box, as they're now zombies.

I still don't know what this pluginserver thing is that you have, since
that's not part of Mozilla.  If i were you, i'd download an official
Mozilla build from ftp.mozilla.org, and use that.
