[SLUG] "Right" way to kill firefox from a script?

["Amos Shapira" <amos.shapira@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Platforms: Linux, OS X, Windows
Firefox: 2 and 3

We have a test script which runx Firefox to visit a web site and after
a few seconds it stops it.

Right now we use "killall firefox" but this causes it to behave as if
it crashed the next time it comes up.

I found in http://tinyurl.com/5qk9so mentioning of "-kill" and
"-killAll" but without explanation of how to use it, and a simple
attempt to use it didn't cause the browser to quit so I'm not even
sure it does what I guess it does.

What's the "right way" to cause firefox to exit properly?

Otherwise - can I change something in Firefox's configuration to cause
it to ignore crashes?

Alternatively - what files on the disk should I change/remove to
"clean up" a crashed session?

Thanks,

--Amos
