I tested the program and found no problem using it. Using your file explorer, go to a directory of your choosing.
(Not the desk top)
Create a new file and call it KillFirefox.bat or whatever you want. Note; this is a BAT file.
Open the file with a file editor, and copy everything below into it (after the ========= of course).
Save the file. Now, use the file explorer, right click the new program, and select
Create A Shortcut. Then move the shortcut to the desk top. Place it somewhere on the screen
so that if Firefox locks up, you can still reach the shortcut.


If you want more information about Taskkill, open a DOS window, and type Taskkill /?

There are other methods of killing Firefox and the keyboard shortcut Alt+F4 may come in handy as that quits a program in Windows. (& Linux or Cmd +W in a Mac )

I am not sure that Firefox locking up will be a very common issue, but if it is then that needs investigating.

@FredMcD -

Is there any way to suppress the command window from opening?

TIA :)
