How should I terminate it without reboot?
Did you tried sending SIGKILL to the processes ?
Sending KILL to a zombie doesn't help.
(by default SIGTERM is sent, not SIGKILL) also report a bug against firefox, it should not do that
The problem is not this process (it's finished now), the problem is its parent. It should have called waitpid() or similar but it haven't for some reason. Killing the parent is the way to get rid of the zombie.
