i apologize for this late (incomplete) summary
thanks to all people:
aaron Lineberger
Crist Clark
mlh
Anthony Florendo
Rich Kuliawec
Darren Dunhem

aaron points me that:
"firefox also a wrapper that calls
firefox-bin? You may want to make sure it's not resetting the umask
vales that you have set"
i verify with plimit <pid> and it's not the case

Darren Dunham said me to test with a shell script and it works well

Cris Clark asked if Firefox catching the SIGXCPU on its own?
Test with     # kill -XCPU 3651
and firefox died
he also suggested:
"You may want to run firefox under truss(1) to see if it is changing its
CPU limit on its own. "
i didn't do it at now

PS: prstat shows elapsed time and ps show start time





Here is my initial post:
