Exit Firefox from Shell Script

  • 772

I've already tried pkill -19 firefox, but it crashes. At the next start it asks if the last session should be opened again. Is it possible to terminate the browser without crash?

scripts command-line

    Any use of pkill is going to crash it; that's essentially its purpose. Use a program like wmctrl instead, to tell it to exit properly.
