keep a second firefox window open, alt-tab to it run about:performance
and it will list out all of your tabs and you can X a specific tab.
Try about:performance I have to use it a lot to figure out which tab
lost its mind and is slowing everything down because it decided it
needs gb's of ram.

Technically it does, you just have to figure out what the os process
is and kill it, each tab is a separate os process.I have killed
weather channel with kill -9 many times(it is easy to find it as it
leaks ram and is the only multiple-gb firefox thread).

I don't think that you can kill one tab or one window, but killin
FF doesn't provide the fidelity to kill 'just one tab'.

It sounds like you may need an indirect approach. Can you get to a
different virtual console? If so, you may be able to find and kill the
