What most often "defunct" means is a 'zombie' , so you have to 'kill'em all'
you can either "pkill -9 firefox" - guaranteed that all processes with firefox in their names will die, though it's dangerous, or, you can 'kill -9' which is not the most elegant way, but it works. The regular kill is the default, nice way, whereas -9 flag cannot be ignored.
