    I actually go a little lower level to go beyond just browser to actually checking the process.  This is code I cobbled together from several sources.  This works for IE.  I'm assuming it could be adapted to work for any browser process.

                var counter = 0;
            var browser = Sys.WaitProcess('iexplore', 1000);
            while((browser.Exists)){
                browser.Terminate();
                browser = Sys.WaitProcess('iexplore', 1000);
            }
