Re: I need force quit now

The question you should have asked was:

[geo@geo-desktop ~]$ pacman -Qo `which xkill`
/usr/bin/xkill is owned by xorg-apps 1.0.3-2

'pacman -Qo' is for already installed applications. xorg-apps is not included in a default install of X.org (pacman -S xorg-server xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard xorg-video-*something* xorg-xinit)

Re: I need force quit now

the computer gets unresponsive so opening a terminal would take forever if at all

I assume it's really that the X server gets unresponsive -- when this happens, and you want a terminal to get things under control, just alt-ctrl-F2.

Re: I need force quit now

you could always alias some keybinding to 'pkill firefox'

...or switch to opera
