I would first open a terminal and use top to see what the process is actually called..in this case it's mozilla-bin. If you do "killall mozilla-bin" it will get all open Mozilla processes.
I'm not sure which Unix your telling him not to use killall but as far as Solaris goes..any version before 2.6 doesn't even have a command called killall and with 2.7 (or 7 for the marketing people out there) you had pkill which did pretty much what killall does. But for Solaris 2.8 and 2.9 they indeed have a command called killall and the usage is pretty much the same as on any Linux system. I've never run into a killall command on any BSD or AIX system I've used. I'm interested in what Unix OS has a killall command that kills every pid. :)
