How to close firefox in nsis?

I think you should change your strategy. Ask the user to close Firefox themselves. You can either do this with your own code (similar to what we use in this topic) or use a plug-in such as LockedList.

So should I just call MessageBox MB_OK "Please Close Firefox" in the script? Thanks.

i think yes!

i would never install a program that will automatically taskkill my firefox.exe!

Take a look at that LockedList plugin as Afrow UK suggested.
What you have to use depends on your purpose/program. but never kill a task on the user system unasked !!!

bye
