Step definitions are global (by design) to help building a ubiquitous language. Hooks are also global.

This seems correct. The only way to filter execution of hooks is with tags.
What you are trying to do looks like an anti-pattern to me... can you explain better what the hooks are meant to do?

I'm bringing this back into the list to be useful to everyone that
knows how to use Google ;-)

That usually happens in Selenium when the browser is too new. On the
latest version of Firefox I had to upgrade Selenium from 2.45.0 to
2.47.0 in the root pom.xml for the browser to close:
<selenium.version>2.47.0</selenium.version>

The static initialization block adds a shutdown hook on the JVM to
close the browser
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#addShutdownHook-java.lang.Thread-):
static {
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(CLOSE_THREAD);
}
When the JVM is shutting down (for example after all tests are run),
CLOSE_THREAD will be executed closing the Firefox browser window.
Please note that in Java static variables are initialised and static
blocks are executed when the class is loaded. If the code does not
reference it, it won't happen (e.g. for tests that do not rely on a
Web browser).
If you are using the Spring Framework alredy, the same effect can be
achieved by something like (using XML bean declaration):
<bean class="org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver"
destroy-method="close" lazy-init="true"/>
