There's this good discussion here regarding the question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1378056/ubuntu-20-04-3-problems-running-firefox-from-terminal
I'll quote some points from the answers there to answer your question:
Why do you get this error? It's because you don't have any other firefox windows launched
How to exit? There are several ways:
Ctrl+C
inside your console to terminate the processsudo ps -aux | grep -i "firefox"
, take the process ID of the first entry and kill
it using the command sudo kill -9 PROCESS_ID
disown
or nohup
to run the process in the background and keep using the same terminal window. You can learn more about the differences between these tools here (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3886/difference-between-nohup-disown-and)
