I don't know about the firefox issue - you don't really say much about
version of FF or xorg but...

<Control><Alt><Shift><Backspace> will forcibly quit X (make sure you
save any open documents first) - and if you want to switch run-levels,
generally, you could get a virtual console <Control><Alt><F2> login as
root, and type 'init 3' to switch to runlevel 3 and 'init 5' to switch
to runlevel 5
