    `pkill -9 -f firefox` won't work, what can be a possible explanation?

  • Yes, I killed the parent process. Also after killing the process with firefox PID, the file equivalent to that process /proc/PID was still there. I think it could be - "likely I/O or driver related" or "stuck in a syscall waiting on some kind of I/O operation that isn’t timing out/is bugged out/can never complete".

  • Sorry my mistake, it was pkill, but we also tried kill with process id, and we also tried killall. Every method that I knew i tried.

    My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn't work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can't stop that process.
