NOTE: Do not try the above answer on a multi-user system since pidof will list pids belonging to other users' browser sessions.

NOTE: The above will not allow Firefox to perform closing operations (like the other pkill/kill options discussed elsewhere on this question, will, as they currently are) and will lead to (amongst other things) the lock symlink not being deleted, which will cause the message in this question to remain. See my answer for more details.

From experience, -9 is almost always recommended.

If doesn't work, try kill -9 $(pidof firefox) or pkill -9 firefox
