• How to close the current tab in Firefox v 17.0.1?

  I have used Firefox for years and have always used tabs instead of opening new windows. I was always able to click the little 'X' on the right side of the tab to close it. I find now that I can't close the active tab by doing this. I have to click on another tab open, and then click the other tab, that I wanted to close.

  I looked through the Options several times trying to see if there is a setting I need to change, but found nothing.

  Is it possible in this version of Firefox (v17.0.1) to close the active tab?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

• I want google to open a window in the active tab and not a new tab

  Hello, google opens a new window, but I want it in the active tab of google. but I still want to open the link in another tab of the site like fb. I had before, that is to say he has 2 but I do not want to go. I already checked the parameters of google and this setting is disabled and is always opens a new tab.

  Do you mean that the search plugin opens the search engine in a new tab? Opening a window in a tab is meaningless. I think that this setting about: config should use the same tab rather than another.

• How can I find the active tab when I have dozens?

  I am frustrated in my effort to close the tab, that I look at when I have dozens, and the active tab is somewhere far to the right or to the left of all of the other tabs. Is there a quick button to close the tab I am currently looking?

  Hey mattwolf7,

  Try ctrl + w on Windows or command + w on mac. Just as an info, the latest version of Firefox has a new design that makes it much easier to see which tab you are currently using.

• How do I close the last tab when restore last session setting is turned on?

  There are times, when I have several tabs open at the same time, when I want to turn off the computer and would like to see these tabs next time when I run Firefox.
  However sometimes also would like to be able to close the last tab and with that 1) closing of Firefox 2) ' close the session' as when I restart Firefox, the default home page greets me, while restoring session last still in activity.

  This future change is good knowledge and bitter to acknowledge, but it was not what I was looking for. (In practice, I need something, that automaticaally a click that, when they are available and makes unavailable, when for example, I press Ctrl + W on the last tab.)
  I just realized, on my cell plu I made Facebook an app - tab, so I could close the last non-app-tab and exit firefox, and next time, the start page was there with the Facebook tab as well. I remember also, that in the pre-Firefox 4 (maybe) it was the default behavior, right?

  Also I was using this: https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/session-manager/ but a new computer should come with a blank page, and also I forgot about it.

  Probably what I really need, is when I run Firefox, the start page will be always the first tab seen.

  Thanks anyway, and I take the responses 'not possible '.

  Edit: Actually the function of what I was looking for was available in the plugin I mentioned.

• Links that close the previous file

  I have a PDF file which acts as a table of contents and links to other PDF files. When a link is clicked on in the table of contents, open the corresponding PDF file. However, the table of contents PDF remains open and I want that it close after clicking on a link to another PDF. Does anyone know how to get there - to click on a link in a PDF file that closes the first PDF and opens the linked PDF file?

  Using the Connector tool, access the properties of a link.
  In the Actions tab, select the open file action.
  Select open a file, and then click the ' Add ' button.
  Select the target PDF.
  The dialog box specify open"preference"opens.

  Save the file & select the hand tool.

  Now, click on the link.
  The target of PDF file opens in the current window.
  The PDF source is closed.

• How can I prevent the FF when I close the last tab from closing?

  FF used to go to my home page, bookmarks, something else when I closed the last tab in the window. Since I restored it FF the window closes when I close the last tab. I could find something in Add-ons but just thought lost in all those that are available.

  You can set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the topic: config page.

  • topic: config page: browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• Close the last tab without closing the application firefox

  Greetings!

  1.i would like to close the last tab without closing the application. The behavior I expect is the application to open a new empty tab when I close the last tab currently I can't close the last tab which already has some open site in it.

  2. when I open a new tab, I have to enter a Web site address. I expect the app to just open a new empty tab and let him to enter an address or not for me.

  Thank you for your support. I love firefox for Android.

  It is being developed and will be changed to allow the closure of the last tab in Firefox 18 or 19.

• Is it possible to simply close the 'existing tab' in firefox rather than all 3 or 4 which can be open and lose the entire web page?

  If I'm on a Web site and open a few different pages and then decide to return to a previous page, or close the page in question, I get a message that says you close tabs 3 or 4 tabs etc. If I want to just close the 'courses' tab I'm on, I was able to do this with Internet Explorer. Is there a way that this can be done on Firefox?

  Hey, BRudy,.

  Have you tried clicking the small X in the upper right of the tab you want to close? If you click on the big red X in the header of Firefox, it will close the whole window, including tabs. If you just want to close the current tab, use the X associated with this tab and you should be fixed.

  Hope this helps!

• What are the KEYstroke (s) used to CLOSE the current tab in the web browser?

  What are the KEYstroke (s) used to CLOSE the current tab in the web browser? I hesitate to use a mouse where can I use sequences of keys, as the mouse is a much slower process. Indeed, to find a list of all the main features that can be used in Firefox, for example ALT + S, followed by R (or several times) and the ENTRANCE used to restore the last browsing session; or CTRL + F to search for a specific word or term? Thank you.

  CTRL + W closes a tab at a time. It also closes a window if there is only one tab open in this browser.

• Firefox closes when I close the last tab, on a system, not the other

  CTRL-W closes the last tab. On my Windows XP machine, I get a blank window well. It's like Windows and Excel, you can close all pages without leaving the application.
  On my Windows XP Professional system, it closes Firefox. Not good. I won't close until I hit Alt + F4.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  I answer to Polly: who does. Thanks, Wikiwide

  Is it possible that an extension is causing the problem?

  Try to start Firefox in safe mode to disable all extensions to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, try disabling an extension at a time to see which one is causing the problem, and then turn it off for good and contact its author for support.

• How to lock the active tab

  Hi all

  I placed a control tab, on demand, in a tab of the Panel I run a heavy code that takes a few minutes to do. For code that runs in time, I want to block the active tab, so he can't switch to different tab. No matter what way to do in CVI? Thank you.

  Hi dragondriver,

  I don't think you can lock a tab, but you can programmatically dim all the other tabs on the same event that starts your heavy treatment, and then their undim one he finished.

• How to create a new folder in the voice tab 7 hp slate

  How to create a new folder in the voice tab 7 hp slate?

  I wish to cretae a folder in my home page.

  Please help me...

  Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

  You want to organize your icons in folders, or put a shortcut of data on your home page folder?

  The first is easy, this last not so much.

  Just hold your finger on an icon, and then drag it on another similar icon.  A "folder" will be done with the name "unnamed file".  Press and hold the words to change the name of the folder.

  I'm not aware of a way to file a record of data on the homepage...
