CTRL F4 closes Firefox, cancel all downloads

When he has that one tab, using Ctrl-F4 closes firefox and cancel all downloads. This happens when the erasing of a few tabs and pressing Ctrl F4 a little too long. ALT F4 gives a warning that firefox download yet, just Ctrl F4 isn't fair. CTRL F4 is supposed to close a tab, it should not end firefox in the first place. It should leave a blank tab after the last tab is closed, or, if you insist, to close firefox, and then give a warning as with Alt F4 download. I guess there is no way to change this? If so where can I lodge a complaint if it gets fixed?

This is the default behavior, but you can change it so that it goes to a tab blank rather than close Firefox.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Search for browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab preference and double-click it to change its value false

  • 38 on Mac Firefox. All downloads are faulty.

    I can't download anything lately. All that said "failed".

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • Close firefox in 1 single workspace when firefox is opened in mutiple workspaces.

    When I use firefox in mutiple workspaces on my Xfce/Unbuntu desktop if I close firefox in a workspace it closes it in all areas of work. How can I avoid this.

    After reading your last post, I decided to look and check out all the options to close the Firefox Windows. I found that if I close the window remains last on a workspace by the 'X' button in the right-hand side of the title bar of Firefox it closes Firefox in all workspaces. However, I found that if I close the window remains last on a workspace by using the small icon of Firefox on the menu on the left side of the window taking place & click close in this menu it does not close Firefox in all areas of work in the space of a work place. (It may help that I put in place of the separate virtual desktop on one office. Then, I opened Firefox in each workspace & clicked "Desktop 1" only then "Desktop 2" only and etc. This seems to have solved the problem for now.

    Thanks for your help.

  • How remove the message "If you quit now, 1 download will be cancelled. Are you sure you want to exit? "when I close Firefox?

    When I try to close Firefox, an error box will appear with the message "If you quit now, 1 download will be cancelled. Are you sure you want to leave? "I click on"cancel 1 download remaining. (The other option is "Don't leave.") But the next time I try to close Firefox, the message appears again. What can I do?

    You can view the downloads folder in the download (Library Manager; Show all downloads) unfinished downloads.

  • 'a single download will be cancelled' appears when I try to close firefox

    I get a pop - up that says 'one download will be cancelled if I close the page.' I get this on each page. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, but it does not help. I tried to restart my PC and it does not help. I don't get the pop up if I use IE only Firefox. The culprit seems to be google Video.com.

    I had just downloaded a movie with realplayer, but not from google when it began. The black arrow pointing down in the navigation bar seems to be the cause of the problem. It shows a download in progress, but it is not a. I tried to cancel the download by clicking on this arrow and 'Cancel', but is no more. The film, that I downloaded with realplayer plays very well. How do I get this resolved?

    That's what fixed it for me. I went to the HISTORY tab. Then click on "show all history". Then on to the left hand side choose / click on "DOWNLOADS". That should show you what is (by train) to download or is a (active) download (which explains why you get this pop up when you try to close Firefox browser). So now you have to click or select what list in the download of right hand box and click on the X in the upper right corner or you have to click so that he can remove it for download. Seems you had to 'pause' or 'stop' the download first, then you can DELETE it. In any case, if it's the same thing that happens to you, it should be an EASY fix without running all spyware stuff or reloading software or restart in safe mode. Mine seemed to happen for some reason any to just do something that I always do, which was from a web page to listen to a radio station. I must have accidentally hit something to start to try to download while I was on the page to listen. In my situation, it was not any progress made by the bar that usually shows how much has been downloaded. He was just here as an active download but no progress.
    Hope that could be the answer to all the world the reading of this same problem.
    Good luck to all

    Perhaps, you just need to wait for a while for Firefox download.

    Perhaps, it is an extension/plugin slowing your Firefox.

  • How to cancel a download in firefox's private browsing mode?

    Hello. When I download something in private browsing mode, I understand that it does not appear in the download window.
    How to cancel a download without closing the private window?
    I don't want to close all the windows because I have several tabs open and it will be really bulky to close all tabs and trying to open all again just so that I can cancel a download.

    Details of my system is as follows.

    Name Firefox
    Version 24.7.0
    User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0

    Thank you.

    You can perform the same operations for downloads in navigation mode as in your regular browser window. There are no pop-up downloads, but should open a separate tab for downloads in private browsing. Alternatively, while in a private window, you can enter topic: download to your address bar, and it should show you your downloads that are spend in your private browsing windows.

    On another note, is there a reason why you are using Firefox version 24? The current version of Firefox is 32.0.2

  • How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please?

    How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please? If possible, please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my situation.

    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually recorded in a updates or updates folder in the program folder or the Firefox application.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    Mac: /Applications/Firefox.app/updates "/path_to/Firefox.app/Updated.app"
    Linux: "/path_to/firefox/updated"
    Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    
  • When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK.

    This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

    Tanks for help getting Firefox working properly again

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

    • Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  • Firefox losing all my tabs if I close when a youtube video is blocked. What is accettable?

    I saved several groups almost 50 pellets.
    Yesterday, I was looking for some videos on Youtube. When some videos seen regularly, I select a video that seems to expect too much to appear.
    I close firefox.
    After the reopening, he opened with a default page and I lost all my tabs in each group.

    This is the second time in a month, a disappointing situation.

    If the browser opens with the Firefox home page; topic: Home, you
    can press the Restore last Session at the bottom right.

    You can also do Toolbar > history > restore the program.

  • When I opened every night all I get is a small black window that says close firefox

    Every night, I installed on a laptop with Windows 7. I used for almost a year. This afternoon, when I tried to open every night, I didn't get was a small black window, saying "close firefox." I used Chrome to get on the web, downloaded the latest Nightly and tried to open it. Same thing happened. How do I return every night?

    A particular reason that you use the Nightly version (sometimes unstable) , rather than a stable version of Firefox?

    Every night is not intended to be 'used', but rather for users help the developers of Mozilla by each new generation of 'testing' and then to report any bug or 'glitches' they can find. Every night is between 12 and 18 weeks of the release of a new version of Firefox - phase Alpha 1, which is 6 weeks.

  • Why do I close Firefox and restart Firefox 27.0 to download Realdownloader to work?

    Real Downloader works for awhile then stops working. I have to close Firefox 27.0 and restart to make it work again.

    Hello Paul7177,

    Please contact the Mozilla Support. After looking on the support page of the Real, they recommend the following:

    Check that the plugin is enabled in your browser.
    1. click on the Tools menu.
    2. Select Add-ons.
    3. locate RealDownloader.
    4. If the button says 'disable' this means that the plugin is currently enabled.
    5. If the button says 'Enable', click this button. Click restart now.

    Note: If you are using IE or Firefox, download this video will not work if your browser is configured for private browsing. If please close and restart the browser window and try again.

    If you try to use it under the private browsing?

    If checking the plugin does not work and you are not private browsing I would say to contact Support the Real here

    See you soon,.
