I've found that if Firefox is running while it's updated, it soon goes

there's no processes still open (downloads, background doo-dads, etc).
And for the big fight, if it's not quitting, run "killall firefox" in a
command line, or "killall -9 firefox" if you need the really big
hammer.
I think I've mentioned this before, but I have a one-liner shell script
that I use to see if there are bits and/or pieces of a program hanging
around named grepit, with the key line being this:
ps aux | grep $1 | grep -v grep
Yes, there's more than one set of arguments to ps to get what's needed,
these are just the ones I'm used to using. And, in many cases, all
that's needed is to wait a minute or so to let all the background stuff
for Firefox finish up and exit.
