Exit Firefox from Shell Script

Multi tool use
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?
command-line scripts

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.

I have the same problem. I have tried wmctrl -c, according to man pages closes window gracefully, but FF won't listen:(
Any more suggestions?
