Why am I unable to close tabs all of a sudden?

I had a lot of trouble installing the latest Firefox update. It finally worked after 7 or 8 attempts. Now I can open new tabs but clicking "close" or right clicking and selecting "close tab" no longer works.

I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but it seems related to a Website's code. After login out of the system, the tab is no longer available or accessible. It doesn't show the page. I can only click on the tab itself (trying to close it through the menu or the X icon), but the page does not appear. Not even with the Group Tabs add-on the tab is visible. It just skips it as if it did not exist. I'm using FF 4b portable.

  • Programme closes down all of a sudden

    hi
    since i work on FCP HD it often occurs that the programme closes down all of a sudden. (this never happend when i was working with FCP 3)
    What can be the reason for this?
    g4 533mhz dual   Mac OS X (10.3.5)  

    MAny many things can cause this. Most likey are damaged preferences, so it would be wise to download FCP rescue and run it...it does it automatically for you.
    And while you are at it, run the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Always wise to do when stuff like this happens.

  • Unable to close tabs

    Hi,
    Recently, tonight, I've noticed issues trying to close tabs. Clicking the 'x' does not work, going to file - > close tab, nor does Ctrl+W. I think earlier I had to open the task manager to shut down the program.
    Extensions/add-ons I am running are personas, Norton IPS, Norton toolbar, and Adblock Plus 1.31. I am running Windows 7 on a 3 months old laptop. All updates should be current.
    The only thing I have installed tonight is Google Earth. That might have been a reinstall... or an over install. I actually noticed some issues with that earlier as well but I can't seem to remember them

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t wohrk in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
    In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
    After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

  • Unable to close tabs after a new tab is opened automatically and suddenly

    Recently, after the latest update, this problem has been occurring quite often. When i am using multiple tabs, the browser will suddenly open a new tab automatically. The new tab is empty. When i try to close the tab, it cannot be closed. i tried closing other tabs that i was using but they too cannot be close. i have to restart the browser and the problem will be solved. But the problem will resurface after awhile of using multiple tabs again. The problem is more frequent when i am using more tabs.

    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]]

  • Unable to close tab after opening website

    cannot close tab after opening website

    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 />

  • Open DNS? Why do we have to do this, all of a sudden?

    I'm one of the folks who has been experiencing this inexplicable hanging/not loading web pages and slower connection since I upgraded to Snow Leopard and the new Safari.
    I did this DNS thing, which is fine, I understand what it means -
    but I never had to do that before, and so I don't understand why I have to do it now, and why isn't my clever computer doing it automatically?
    My 67 year old mother would never have known this if I didn't come along and fix it! LOL
    So is this something that will be incorporated in a future update so people like my mother don't have to be so savvy, or is this the kind of thing we have to keep doing as new things get added?
    Is this the only thing that is making my Safari hang on some websites that weren't hanging before all the new updates? Is there some other reason? I've done nothing new to my connection, it's the same DSL as before, and my ISP seems to show no problems at all.
    Thank you for your help.

    I wonder myself why Carolyn has the same answer on countless postings of just switching to Open DNS? Actually their not a bad DNS provider. But people are right to question why their current DNS servers that their ISP use are all of a sudden the cause for Safari nor loading pages. If that were the case I would think the ISP provider would be flooded with complaints. Considering the fact also that a Windows computer using IE 8 or Firefox with the same ISP is not affected tells me that its not the DNS servers and that changing to Open DNS would not provide the best solution. As I have also been affected by this issue and have traced it more to Safari and Snow Leopard then any other issue.
    Do I have a solution? No. But suggesting that its a DNS issue is not on target.

  • TS1702 For some reason I am unable to install apps all of a sudden. I reset my I phone 4s. My account shows that I purchased the app but it does not down load to my phone. Any suggestions?

    For some reason I am unable to download apps. I have downloaded several apps in the past but all of a sudden my I Phone 4S will not download. I have totally reset my entire phone but that didn't work. My account shows that I purchased the app but it just appears as a grey square on my home page. Even tried other apps but nothing. Any suggestions?

  • Why does Flash install completion close tabs when re-opening Safari?

    Here is a link to the last time this was brought to the attention of the Adobe team on 9/11/2014: Safari Browser Tab Cleared After Flash Installation
    Is this something that will be fixed soon or does Adobe just not care? It can be very time consuming to track down tabs that were left open for various reasons. Please fix this and have Safari re-open with tabs that were open before a Flash player update.

    It's something that we're aware of, but it's not trivial to solve.  It's definitely on our radar, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

  • All my tabs turned into new tabs all of a sudden.

    Sometimes all of my tabs suddenly turn into new tabs, this happens when I've previously closed the window page and then reopened it. How can I get all my tabs back?

    Do you mean that APP tabs are changed to normal tabs?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why won't my Apple applications work all of a sudden?

    For some reason over the weekend, my Apple applications like Safari, Mail, Software Update and such won't work. When I open one, my cursor turns into that rainbow circle and just stays there. The application won't go any further.
    However, my other applications I have seem to work fine, such as Adobe products, Macromedia products, and Internet Explorer.
    Do I need to reinstall my system? If I buy Tiger and install that, would that solve my problem as well? If I do reinstall my system, what files do I need to back up to save old emails?

    Alonzo,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions !
    Did you recently install a new application or printer/scanner?
    You might have a font conflict . . .
    Many times, fonts will mess up all he Apple apps but not affect 3rd party apps.
    If you haven't added anything containing additional fonts, let us know, and we can look into font book app for duplicates.

  • Why is my one year paid membership all of a sudden a free membership only 9 months later?

    I purchase the annual Creative Cloud package in April 2014 for $214. The program I use the most is Premiere Pro CC. It had not been working properly for a while so I uninstalled Premiere, intending to just reinstall it using my cloud access. However, somehow my paid one-year paid membership had reverted to a free membership and I could only download a trial version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. What is going on here? I would like to be able to use the services I paid for.
