The SIGTERM signal is the default signal sent by the `kill command, and is intended to allow applications to perform normal shutdown procedures prior to exiting.

When Firefox closes due to receiving the SIGTERM signal, normal shutdown procedures are not followed. For example, none of the following global notifications are sent:

quit-application-requested
quit-application-granted
quit-application
xpcom-shutdown
