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.

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.

How to make the CURRENT TAB or NO CURRENTS dynamically according to REQUIREMENT

I have following 2 tabs
TAB 1
TAB 2

so when the control is on the Page 1... by default the two tabs a... TAB 1 & 2 of the TAB are current...
I want to... based on some condition... only a tab should be updated...
so... for Condition 1 Page 1... Tab1 should be CURRENT (TAB2 should be NON - CURRENT)
.. .to condition 2 on Page 1... Tab2 should be CURRENT (TAB1 should be NON - CURRENT)
Can do us it dynamically?
Thank you
DeepakHello
Yes, you can create a copy of the page in issue 3 of the page and have this one to create only on records. Page 3 should have its own tab and page 2 (Edit page) uses the same tab that the report page. Thus, the user can never go directly to the edit page (they should go to the report page) but they can go directly to the registration page.

How to stop the Welcome tab in Firefox to open whenever I open Firefox?
I read two ways to try to stop this aid but they either did not apply or I couldn't do what they suggest.
Everytime I open Firefox to the end the home to the fire fox tab opens as well as my home page. It's only a little trouble turning off every time, but I would like to happen. What can I do?
I found another one where they say to delete something out of the about.config, but I wasn't able to delete the line. I could not find how to remove a line on the subject of config.

Hello
I guess you have been following this article: Firefox says it's just updated each time that it starts - how to fix. Note that the most recent Firefox 33.1 (your user watch 33.0 agent), so if you use later, try to update again and see if that makes the page appears for the last time.
If the above does not work, try to go through How to set preferences that will not save. It could be a third-party application like antivirus software prevents your update preferences or a user.js file.
Who Subject: config line did you mean erase? I don't think you can remove entries from the configuration, unless you added it yourself and remove it from the prefs.js file. You can reset the default preferences or change their values. It is not safe to blindly change your configuration as it has no influence on how Firefox is running.
I use the 34 version and have the same oroblem

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
BurtEach 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. -
create a link to close the active tab
Hi all
I want to create a link in the muse of adobe that closes the current tab. I'll put up my photos thumbnails so that when you click on it, it will open a version full screen of the photo in a new tab. On the page with the photo full screen, I want to have an 'x' on the page in Ubuntu fonts that, when clicked, will close the current tab (the one with the image full screen). Any ideas how to do that? Thanks in advance!
All my best,
Rob

This response seems to have solved the problem for others:
«I've got a similar question that I programmed my MS mouse Intellipoint to 'Close', so I could close a tab with a click, but now he closes the application.» "I got around it by changing the settings of my Intellipoint / program specific settings / Firefox / key combination (Ctrl + W) hope this helps.

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.

How can I open a new window without the current tabs being replicated?
I have a window open with several tabs. I open a new window and the current tabs are replicated - I'm waiting for the new window empty - what am I doing wrong? Should what settings I change. I'm running Firefox on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS.

There is a little tab on the upper left corner of my browser window that says Firefox. I used to be able to hit that and have quick access to history, print etc. rather than working from the menu on the left three lines. How can I get that back?
Thank youIt has been replaced by the 3 lines on the side button. You can either use that (it's actually faster to access your frequently used objects) or customize Firefox How to make the new look of Firefox as the old Firefox

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.
