Hi ,
/usr/bin/killall Firefox command does not work efficiently on all the
Mac's. If i include this in script, I doubt it actually kills the app.
Thanks,
Vishnu

It's the ps-ef... line that can exit incorrectly. For instance when
there's no Firefox process running.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/killall Firefox
/bin/rm -rf /Applications/Firefox.app
exit 0
seems to work fine.
Side note: I'm not a big fan of killing and removing files in the
Installation Check requirements though because if the installation is
not run, then you have lost your Firefox application instance. I would
rather do that in the pre-installation script.
