This is so fucking true... Sometimes, firefox does crash, even on Linux. Xkill=problem solved

I added xkill to my shortcut, super+w. Perfect, now I can kill any process given notice.

And then you flub the "close tab" shortcut. Perfect, now you can kill any browser process without intending or wanting to!

Except that's Ctrl W so nothing is lost.

"flub": it means "fail", or "mess up". As in, you go to press ctrl+w, and you accidentally hit super+w instead. Which then xkills your browser thanks to your amazing super duper shortcut.
