Just tried something like that and couldn't figure out which was the PID number. It gave me:

4347 0.0 0.0 14436 1100 pts/0 S+ 16.27 0.00 grep -- color=aux to firefox

Firefox was in red. Keen to try this isf Terminla is still up and running.

I can never remember get commands so I usually do ps ux to find the PID of the app I want to kill then kill -9 (PID Number).

 Me again. While Mint remain wobbly, it frequently claims that (ie)
 Firefox is running but not responding.

 I've tried

 $ kill $(ps -x | grep firefox | a

 and nothing happened. Got the same message.

 killall firefox


 has usually worked in the past but not now.


 So what do I do?
