`pkill -9 -f firefox` won't work, what can be a possible explanation? - eviltoast

My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn’t work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can’t stop that process.

    Sorry my mistake, it was pkill, but we also tried kill with process id, and we also tried killall. Every method that I knew i tried.
