When I run the following code:
import os
file = "C:\\progra~1\\mozill~1\\firefox.exe www.google.com"
os.system(file) # this will spawn Firefox and naviage to google.com
kill = "taskkill /f /im firefox.exe"
os.system(kill) # this should kill Firefox instance that was just spawned
the script never gets to kill the insance of firefox. When I manually close Firefox, my cmd window indicates that the taskkill command was unsuccessful, which leads me to believe that after I open Firefox the system is not getting any indication that the command finished executing, which would result in Firefox not being killed. I also tried substituting "
os.system" with "os.popen" which did the same thing.
Anyone have an idea how I can kill the instance of Firefox?
