I was thinking along the lines of closing windows using the "X" in the corner, which would make it impossible to restore all of the open windows. Thanks for pointing that out though. DKong wrote:

Just add the 'Force quit' button to the gnome panel. now when an application is misbehaving first press the ' Force quit' Button and then on the window of the application you want to kill. Very neat. does the trick :) Actually there is a good method to kill processes in ubuntu.

These (optionally) open your last session automagically. TabMixPlus can even be configged to ask if you want to reload your last session. Then you can use the MS TaskKill to gracefully close Firefox (if not frozen of course) allowing the saving of anything that may need saving that would get lost in a forceful kill.
