Is there anything similar to MS Windows' command-line tool taskkill for Ubuntu's command line?

Yes! Linux has killall. Try killall firefox.
But my favorite is command line task manager htop - run that, press F5 for process tree view and kill necessary process.
Well, actually process killing is bad. You have to have pretty good reason to do that. Try to find source of problem.
