Hi :) I know probably everyone else knows this already but i just learned that i can kill a process by using it's name without needing to find it's PID! Since it's often Firefox that misbehaves after i push it toooo far i find this useful
pkill firefox Then when i click on Firefox icon to open it again it remembers most of the tabs i had open and lets me untick a few if i want.
