Do you only open the website in a already opened browser or a new instance of the browser with that website?

If you want to close the browser, the command pkill should do the job.

Thanks for your reply!
I'd rather keep the browser open otherwise I'd have to insert the login and passwd again.
Any suggestion?

Thanks again!!
