Close all firefox tabs with BATCH

Question

I try to close all firefox if there are more than one. I want to do loop that check the firefox process and close and check again until there is no any firefox process.

This is my code:

:loop
taskkill /im "firefox.exe"
tasklist /fi "imagename eq firefox.exe" goto loop

Where is my wrong in this command ? Any help is appreciated.

:loop 
tasklist /fi "imagename eq firefox.exe" | find "firefox.exe" >nul && ( taskkill /im firefox.exe >nul & goto loop )

Get list of tasks, and if firefox.exe included in it, then kill it and goto loop

And am wondering how to open it again using batch. Mostly like a restart batch command ? – Santhosh Oct 01 '16 at 17:05

You can also use the following to force kill FF windows:

taskkill /F /FI "ImageName eq firefox.exe"

One taskkill command will kill every firefox process - unless it is not responding.

You could use two taskkill commands separated by a delay of several seconds, and the second one should use the /f force switch.

I am using windows xp and taskkill doesn't kill every firefox process. If there are 2 windows for firefox it kills only one window. In the task manager it seems only one process but I don't understand why it does'nt working. Also the answer of @MC works really fine – Batuhan B Nov 22 '13 at 13:53
`start notepad.exe & start notepad.exe & taskkill /im notepad.exe` <-- try that command. Only if a process is not responding will it remain in memory, and my answer describes how to solve that. – foxidrive Nov 22 '13 at 14:32
