How to kill firefox child process/tab from Java/C++

I used C# approach …

I am able to find the process ID of all the tabs..

foreach (Process theprocess in processlist) {
    if (theprocess.ProcessName == "iexplore") {
        Console.WriteLine("Process: {0}\tID: {1}\tWindow name: {2}",
            theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id, theprocess.MainWindowTitle
        );
    }
}

Currently i can get only Window Title of the process….and in IE8 only one window title of main process is visible..

Provided i have the pids of each tabs,How to find the URL of the tab …and kill only that tab ??

I got this help from

In IE7 and later versions, below code will kill only the tab which has matching string in its URL.

   foreach (SHDocVw.InternetExplorer ieInst in new SHDocVw.ShellWindows())
   {
        String url = ieInst.LocationURL;
        if (url.Contains("google"))
        {
            ieInst.Quit();
        }
   }

To focus a specific tab the code is :

   foreach (SHDocVw.InternetExplorer ieInst in new SHDocVw.ShellWindows())
   {
        String url = ieInst.LocationURL;
        if (url.Contains("google"))
        {
            int val = ieInst.HWND;
            IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr(val);
            ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_MAXIMISE);
            SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);
        }
   }
