If you have the main firefox window use File > Exit or Firefox button > Exit, which is the proper way to close Firefox.

Whether you could do the above or not, next

  1. Bring up the Windows Task Manager ("Ctrl+Alt+Del")
  2. In the "Processes" tab right click on firefox.exe and use "End process tree"
