One final comment, I'd like to thank Trolly, the Moderator. I think this shows an admitted lack of knowledge, that I searched for this knowledge and gave an appropriate corruption warning (based upon my limited knowledge). I've tried to research this possibility but didn't turn up anything". Open Firefox after you’ve received permission to run. Drag Firefox to Trash after it has been copied and ejects the image. The Firefox App will appear as an Application in your Safari window. However, the "inherently bad advise" I gave included the following: "A disadvantage MAY (a guess on my part) is that it could corrupt a firefox file. Click on the Downloads tab and choose Firefox. I am certainly no Tech (of any kind) and, you are right, I do NOT know the tasks Firefox goes through to shutdown. However, the Tech section is an area where I would NEVER post.

In this guide, we’ll cover the step by step instructions on how to download and install Mozilla Firefox on the most popular Linux distros. It’s available for installation on all major Linux distros, and even included as the default web browser for some Linux systems. This topic was originally posted in the Firefox Support/Help section but the moderator moved it here. Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular and widely used web browsers in the world. Look, what you call "advise" and promoting a program is just me trying to share the only two options I could find that would shutdown firefox from the command-line.

I am using it as part of a backup script and firefox must be closed to perform a full backup. If you are reading this, then you have your specific reasons for wanting to close firefox from a command line. When on different machine, use the Chosen Solution. It includes a CHM file that contains examples and seems to include all possible uses of NIRCMD. It does almost everything that you had always wished DOS could do. NIRCMD has an additional advantage in that it is a Swiss Army knife of programs. So you have seen how simple it is to install a Mozilla Firefox web browser on Debian 10. When you are prompted, press Y from the keyboard. When you want to remove a Firefox, run the following command on the terminal. I've tried to research this possibility but didn't turn up anything.Īs mentioned, since NIRCMD and TASKKILL are generic programs, they can be used on any other running program. Run the following command on the terminal. A disadvantage MAY (a guess on my part) is that it could corrupt a firefox file that is being updated at the moment (e.g.

This had the advantage of working without an additional piece of software and not requiring a change in Firefox tab options. Now, a command line of " nircmd.exe closeprocess firefox.exe " will gracefully close Firefox.įor TaskKill: All you have to do is, at the command line, enter " TASKKILL /F /IM firefox.exe /T ". Run firefox and in "Options" insure the warnings for closing tabs are NOT selected (it will prevent closing). Put nircmd.exe in a convenient location, like C:\Windows (Note: nircmd.exe, uses a message box for errors while nircmdC.exe doesn't, that's the only difference).

The second uses TaskKill which is a native Windows 7 process.įor NIRCMD: You need to download the file from. The first method requires using a free, small (43 kb), DOS enhancer program called NIRCMD. However, I've found two methods that can be used to close it (or any other program) from a command line/prompt. However, it may simply be that the user did not export the freshest cookies file from FF so that it could be loaded by wget -load-cookies, since to create a wget-compatible (netscape style) cookies file requires:ġ) installing a plugin like Export CookiesĢ) exporting the cookies.txt file for wget to use.Firefox for Windows doesn't have a command line option to close it. Yes, it's heavy, but if you can view the page in a browser but not via wget or similar, then there doesn't currently seem to be any way to do it that could be used from the command line. (and firefox exits when it has finished saving the URL it fetched). So the user want some way to run firefox like so: firefox "" -save-to-folder. wget -load-cookies using the firefox cookies may not work, if authentication is done via javascript inside the web page loaded.

storing the authentication results for example in firefox's cert8.db or keys.db or signons.sqlite or even in locatsore.rdf). The suggestion to use wget wouldn't handle the case where access to the content requires special login or other authentication that requires some user action from inside the browser (e.g.
