I don't think that's the problem - 

  pkill firefox 

and 

  pkill firefox-bin

both succeed in killing the firefox process, but both do it 'uncleanly',
i.e., firefox doesn't save the tab info and other data it needs to start
up properly the next time. The consequence it the "This is embarrassing,
Firefox can't recover your tabs" notice once every two or three times
pkill is used.

So far, the wmcntrl command I posted earlier:
  wmctrl -c firefox
doesn't seem to have this problem: firefox is not killed, but rather
asked to quit.

Thanks,

Tyler
