Sometimes Firefox on my PC locks up with YouTube and I'd like a quick way to kill and restart it. Is there an easy way to do it without opening Task Manager or right clicking its task bar button?
You can do it with a hotkey set to an action like this:
(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Computer: Terminate process "firefox.exe"
0002 Wait: For milliseconds to pass "500"
0003 Computer: App launch "firefox.exe"
(End)
Which looks like this in the "Automation" tab for the action:

Note that in step 3 of the action, the path to the process ("firefox.exe") isn't needed because Firefox is officially installed. So with portable apps, or apps that aren't installed via a "Setup.exe" file, you will need to include the path to the exe in step 3 as well.
