Hi Patrick, > It may be that the only way to terminate Firefox cleanly from outside > of Firefox is to simulate a Ctrl+Q keystroke, or the GUI equivalent.
Yes, I forgot about multiple windows, only using one myself. Ctrl-Q is the right way. (And easier that getting to the equivalent menu item.) http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ is one program for sending keypresses, there are others. All are X clients needing an X display to contact, so we're back to that DISPLAY issue again, but Tim may well be happy assuming the desired display is `:0'.
