How do I stop the specific sandbox (other than send SIGTERM or "kill " command to sandbox)?
is there a command like "firejail --kill" or "firejail --stop" ?

I think you're looking for the --shutdown option, it accepts a name or PID. Very convenient in combination with --name, as it saves you a PID lookup.

$ firejail --name=foo my-favo-app
...
$ firejail --shutdown=foo

As always, you can add name foo to a local override file in ~/.config/firejail/foo.local or in /etc/firejail/foo.local.
