Nice script
One way of doing it is as follows
Make a new file on your desktop and call it killFirefox
Right click on the file and open properties
Open the tab Permissions (hopefully it's called that I'm on a localized Mint)
Tick the box "Run Allow the file to tun as a program"
Copy the file to usr/bin
sudo cp killFirefox /usr/bin/killFirefox
Right click on the dekstop and create a program starter for your killFirefox
When you double click the starter you're asked if you want to kill Firefox.
//Edit/Use the script with zenity instead - zenity is already installed see two posts below/
If you don't have xdialog installed you need to install it first. (you'll find it in synaptics)
Thsi could of course be done in the CLI but I prefer the GUI as long as possible (mostly)
