Use your debugger to find out what is getting returned from the call to GetProcessesByName. You can also use Task Manager to check that the process is running and its name matches the URL.

Why would you start a process if you're immediately going to kill it?

If that's really what you're trying to do, then use:

pr.Start();
pr.Kill();

GetProcessesByName is never going to find a URL. It will work with the executable name you find in Task Manager though.

Also, you are probably trying to kill a process that hasn't even started yet. Process.Start does not wait for the process to actually start before it returns.

But, the question remains, why would kill a process immediately after launching it? There's no point to it.
