Exit Firefox from Shell Script
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?

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.
