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:

Then if you change your killall command to be
killall -9 firefox
then it will should firefox to close.
