How do I middle click and close tabs in safari? please help!

I am used to google chrome and  adapted to use middle clicks to interact with tabs. My friend introduced me to safari and as i am using macbook pro I think using safari should be more compatible. The only thing that is holding me back is closing tabs with middle click on mouse. I would really appreciate if someone would point me to easy solution for that.
Thanks,
Rohan

Command-W closes the active tab.

  • On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work.  I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will.  This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

  • Firefox Tip - Fixing middle click to close tabs

    I've been bugged by this for a while now, and finally tracked down why the middle click on my linux machine would open tabs, but not close them...
    By default, middle clicking on a tab will load whatever is in the clipboard as if it were a URL.  To fix it, you just have to go into Firefox's config (type <code>about:config</code> in the location bar, then find the preference labeled <code>middlemouse.contentLoadURL</code>, right-click on it and select the Toggle option to set it to false.
    That's it!  Hopefully this will help somebody else out...although it's quite possible that everyone aside from me already knew about it 

    I've discovered that a month ago after some time driving me nuts that strange behavior of middle click.
    I really understand you

  • How can I enable the center mouse click to open and close tabs in Firefox and Chrome?

    I have a MacBook Pro Model A1261 purchased in 2009. On my other mac at work (and my PC) I can center click to open a link in a new tab while in Chrome or FireFox, and also to close a tab by clicking on it in the tabs at the top. I am using an external USB mouse on my MacBook Pro and when I click the center scroll wheel it brings up the dashboard. I looked in the settings but wasn't able to find a way to change that setting for the center button to open and close tabs in my web browser. Is there a way? Please help!

    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>

  • Middle click on a tab closes all tabs.

    Ok I just installed Firefox 4 final release, fresh and whenever I middle click on a tab, all the tabs close immediately. If I turn on the message box asking me to "close all tabs?" the box pops up when I middle click on it. I had this same problem on RC1 and RC2, even with tab-mix plus installed I couldn't control the behaviour of middle click on a tab. I have tried this on RC1 and RC2 clean install and with tab mix plus but whatever I do firefox tries to close all the other tabs when I middle click on one.
    I have Firefox running on a XP system but I havent faced any issue on that. The system that has problems is the one with Windows 7 and I may have to mention this, Logitech's Set point software to configure the different buttons on the wireless mouse. I have check the configuration in the software and Middle Click is set to Middle click. This configuration was working fine on the same system when I was running firefox 3.6.* and started when I upgraded to FF4.

    I use a laptop wit Win 7 and only meet this problem if the FF is in full screen mode, and because of it the tabs are in the header - in line with the Firefox button. If I change to windowed mode the tabs goes on row lower and middle click works as it should.
    I use the software "SecondShell" to remap the caps lock into middle button - if I "click" with it the FF works fine, just the mouse cause the problem.

  • New tab and close tab buttons are not enabled

    On firefox page, new tab and close tab buttons are not neabled and right click shows the same functions as not available.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • I have downloaded iOS 6 to my iTunes but I have clicked "Download Only" not "Download and Update" how do i install/sync it to my iPad. Please help me, its taken me hours to download it i don't want to do it again :(

    I have downloaded iOS 6 to my iTunes but I have clicked "Download Only" not "Download and Update" how do i install/sync it to my iPad. Please help me, its taken me hours to download it i don't want to do it again
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
    it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
    I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

  • Middle click and right click won't work?

    Previously i used nightly but i uninstalled it due to it's unstable. When installing firefox, everything is ok. But i realize my middle click and right click won't work. I have check the "About:config" page and the "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" is "true". I try to reinstall it but no effects.
    Please help. i can't open new tab or downloading images with this issues.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    Hi,
    I guess you can use company code itself. Talk to your basis guy or else if you have some expertise & Authorization try out PFCG.

  • Firefox asks (twice) to save and close tabs, on new open windows without tabs, when i close them.

    About one month ago, i started to receive a message box from firefox, asking if i wanted to save and close tabs, on newly open windows (and pop-ups) without any tabs open on them.
    And everytime i close the windows without tabs, firefox asks it twice...
    I did not made any changes, so i don't know why it started doing this.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!

  • How can I adjust size of 'close tab' button?

    I'm using 12.5" fullhd touch laptop and close tab button so small that it's real pain to hit.
    I need it at least 4 times larger for somewhat comfortable touch navigation.
    Add-ons and CSS is OK.
    Windows 8, Firefox 20, also tried Aurora

    In the ancient days of Firefox 1, a button to close the current tab appeared at the far right end of the tab bar instead of on the individual tab. If you need a much bigger button, and you find that too much of the page title is crowded out by having the button on the tab, you could switch to the old style so your wider/taller button doesn't impinge. My old page on the setting to change is here if you're interested: [http://jeffersonscher.com/FxPrefs/tabClose.html].

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
