Once upon a time Firefox had -remote for executing commands on linux like that, but it was removed back in Firefox 39. This also allowed doing useful stuff like telling firefox to reload a url. but also: -remote "xfeDoCommand(close)"
Regrettably there's no replacement for this super useful legacy functionality that I know of apart from Selenium Webdriver (have fun) or xdotool scripting. Of those options, xdotool sending commands to window with Firefox name to ctrl-q is probably sanest, with possible confirmation prompt handling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73536 Title: MASTER Firefox crashes on instant X server shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/73536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
