• Why Firefox sometimes opens a new window when I browse to an existing tab?

  I often have 7 or 8 tabs open in Firefox. Sometimes, when I click on a tab, Firefox opens in a new window instead of going to this tab. I did not understand a boss when it does.

  A will (usually at lower) very light movement causes the tab to "tear" / "snatch" in a new window. You can drag the tab to the window of the new window origin.

• How to close the instance of Firefox launched via file/new window without killing all instances of Firefox?

  Before the last update Firefox, running on Ubuntu if it makes a difference, I was able to select close on the file menu (and if memory is also by clicking the x on the last tab) to exit an instance of Firefox open via file new window.

  With the 9.x update this no longer seems to be possible. If I choose the file altogether starting an instance that was launched via the new window, all instances of Firefox away!

  It's embarrassing because I have to leave all the instances that have been launched.

  I tried closing last tab add on, and it allows me to close the last tab content but still leaves the instance running with a blank tab.

  Is there a setting somewhere that I missed to restore the operating mode to exit the additional instances of Firefox without killing all the previous configuration?

  Thank you
  Burt

  Each window must have its own close button (big X in the right corner.)
  But it depends on the 'Theme' that you use in Ubuntu. This large X chould be a round point when you hover over the color changes. It could be on the left instead of the right site.
  This screenshot shows the close the left side, but always an X button.

  CTRL + SHIFT + W closed the window Active.
  CTRL + W closes the current tab.

• Firefox crashes when I pressed the Browse button to upload files

  Windows 7 x 32 Firefox 10.02 the program crashes constantly when I press the Browse button (such as gmail attachments, virustotal programs and so on.)
  PS I've already eliminated the registry problems and attempted to delete MRU registry, such as mentioned in this topic: https://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/754368#answer-105628

  Cor - el will no doubt come with suggestions. I will list the accident report Details incase they help someone. The accident occurred when a component associated Windows is in use. Have you ensured you have no background task running, and no unnecessary plugins Firefox are running.

  No reason to expect to be directly related, but a previous incident with the same signature took place when bookmarks were used, and the solution in this instance was:

  I found out that an option in Microsoft File Explorer caused the crash.
  To solve this:
  - Go to "Organize"
  - Choose "Folder and search options"
  - uncheck "Automatically expand to current folder"
  

   Now Firefox won't crash again!

• All windows disappear except Composition and timeline when you drag the time indicator current (CTI)

  All windows disappear except Composition and Windows calendar when you drag the time indicator current (CTI). When I let go of the mouse, all the windows reappear. I'm sure I've accidentally changed a parameter overview, but I can't find where this setting is. I want just all the Windows I normally opened to stay there while I drag the CTI.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  I have NVidia Quadro FX 3800, driver version 341.92, which is one of the most recent drivers, but that made me think. In the NVidia Control Panel, I checked manage 3D settings and restored all global and set default settings. Now it does not work properly. I think that I have stayed a while to solve something for a different application, and who touched somehow AE. Thanks for the help!
