i call the belowfrom pschedule evert few hrs, but since ESR, it's stopped working ff does not quit either.

#bleach.sh
#! /bin/sh
killall -q firefox
sleep 10s
killall -q bleachbit
bleachbit
sleep 30s
/opt/firefox-ESR-portable/LAUNCH &

Check to see if the firefox process is called something else such as firefox-esr and if so edit the script accordingly.
I'm not in F96 right now but I take it by "since ESR" you mean you have changed from regular firefox to firefox ESR ?

EDIT:- Looking in F96 now, there is firefox_esr (with underscore) but that is a symlink to LAUNCH script so killall does not work with that.
killall firefox does seem to kill although processes in task manager are firefox-bin so you can try that although killing firefox while it is running can cause inability to restore the session. So overall I am not sure if it is good to have a script like that running as scheduled task (if that is what you are doing). Personally if I were going to do cleans using bleachbit I would start them manually so as to have control and avoid issues cropping up mid-task.

@boof
firefox-esr.bin works for me

please, where does ff-ESR-115.9 hide its cashes? i suspect it's so different from earlier versions that bleachbit doesn't work, or requires tweaking to make it viable,

edit 2
i run <bleachbit> from under the ~/firefox-ESR-portable directory, vis:

#bleach.sh
#! /bin/sh
killall -q firefox-ESR.bin
sleep 10s
killall -q bleachbit
cd firefox-ESR-portable
bleachbit
sleep 30s
cd ..
/opt/firefox-ESR-portable/firefox64/LAUNCH &

it seems to work when called every 4hrs, as X does not drop out anymore, as the cashes no longer fill up.

bleachbit choices boxes obscured by slider. v hard to choose an operation.
how to fix pls. screensize 150%.
