So what do I do?

By default those commands will send the signal SIGTERM but there is something a bit stronger SIGKILL. It sounds like firefox is ignoring the TERM, I don't know why. Anyway, read this: https://major.io/2010/03/18/sigterm-vs-sigkill/ Then if you change your killall command to be killall -9 firefox then it will should firefox to close. Adam --
