Can I avoid closing Firefox entirely when "red Xing" a page to get rid of it?

I'm new to Firefox so bear with me......Whenever I use the red x at the top right-hand corner to get rid of a page that doesn't allow me to go back one page, I get a message from Firefox - "Do you want to close all 4 tabs?"......the only answer is "yes". When I click on "yes", I lose the whole Firefox website and have to open it again to continue. This is very annoying. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

Tested on Firefox 25 the latest version it give me the warning of closing multiple tabs with the option of cancelation.
Maybe something wrong with your preferences check if this working try to reset it or check that similar thread it marked as sloved [[retaining "do you wish to close all tabs" request|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/949202]]

  • Can I avoid changing firefox's options by other software?

    Can I avoid changing firefox's options by other software? I mean I hate when some other soft can change my firefox's default search engine and install useless add-ons.
    So can I do something with this?

    We are working on preventing other program from changing Firefox's preferences. Until then, be careful when you install stuff, don't jsut accept the defaults, but read on what's being changed and use common sense.

    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")

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

    I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

    Hello drumsdonkey,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
    iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
    - Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    - Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    - Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When capturing video; how do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

    When capturing video; How do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

    s.haider
    You have Canon ZR950 mini DV Camcorder, why not make a firewire connection and do DV data capture into the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Capture Window?
    Do you have any reference for what you are attempting to do or is this a creation of your own? Could you confirm what you describe as "just capturing video".
    a. From your information, you are doing Get Media/Webcam or WDM Device with the Capture Window showing the Capturing Device as "Dazzle DVD 100 Video Device". What type of connection are you making between the Canon ZR950 and the Dazzle DVD 100 and the computer?
    b. What exactly do you expect to be putting on the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline from this capture...DV AVI or something else?
    Coming from the perspective of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 known issues, I would ask you to consider:
    a. Remove the check mark next to AutoAnalyzer in the Capture window. Even if you were doing this Capture the "usual way", that is highly recommended.
    b. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and compare your results with and without a check mark next to enable GPU playback. As a cross reference, please go to Edit Header/Effects/Video Effects and detemine if there is a category of Effects named GPU Effects. Do the same thing for Edit Header/Transitions/Video Transitions and determine if there is a category of Transitions named GPU Transitions.
    And, the general drill for all users of Premiere Elements 8.0
    a. Are you working with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer Features turned Off?
    See Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General for background rendering option and Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options for AutoAnalzyer options.
    b. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update version of the program?
    Please consider.
    We will be watching for the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • I've closed Firefox. When I go to reopen it, it says "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time". I've then shut off my laptop; restart it and this same Firefox issue continues.

    I can't seem to reopen Firefox.
    I HAVE, in fact, closed Firefox. I've even "force quit" it. When I shut down my computer and restarted it, I got Firefox back, but then when I went off and tried to come back on, the problem reoccurred. When I try to reopen it, the same message comes across.

  • How can I avoid re starting weblogic when servlets change

    Hello all,
    I always re start weblogic server 6.1 upon any changes to class files or servlets. does any one know of any configuration settings to avoid a re start when ever my servlets or class files change ? I deployed the application in exploded format and not in .war file format.
    thanks much
    Srik.

    Hi,
    if your question is: how can I update changes in my WebApp without having to restart my Weblogic server, then I have a hint:
    Maybe your server is running in productive mode. Try setting it to developement mode (edit the 'startWeblogic.cmd', find the line 'set STARTMODE=true' and change it to 'set STARTMODE=false').
    After this change the server needn't be restarted to make changes take effect.
    Hope this helps.
    Thomas.

  • I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

    I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
    I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • How can i avoid restarting tomcat server when servlet is modified?

    please advice me that how can i avoid restarting the tomcat server, whenever a servlet file is modified in my application. is their any way ?

    No probs. Here's how I do things...
    1. Install tomcat as normal (e.g. I install to C:\Apps\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4)
    2. Create a webapps directory in your eclipse project with the following directory structure
    MyEclipseProject
       - src
       - conf
       - webapps
          - MyApplication
             - META-INF
             - WEB-INF
                - classes
                - lib
                - pages3. Set the project's output folder (e.g. bin folder) to webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/classes
    4. Put all your jar files in the lib directory
    5. Put JSPs / HTML in the pages directory (you may also want to create additional directories for TLDs, config files etc)
    6. Ensure your web.xml is in the WEB-INF directory
    7. Although it isn't essential I create a context.xml file and store it in META-INF, e.g.
    <Context reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/struts-config.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/tiles-defs.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/validation.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>I use this to set monitored resources that will trigger an automatic appliation reload and to configure JAAS (not shown). See the Tomcat documentation for additional information.
    8. In the 'conf' directory I create a server.xml file used to configure Tomcat (you can copy the one from your <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml).
    After copying the file change appBase attribute in the host element to be the full path to the webapps directory. You can also change the HTTP and HTTPS ports if you wish
    9. Download and install the Tomcat Launcher plugin from Sysdeo.
    10. In Eclipse's Preferences menu you will see a new entry for Tomcat. Click this then
    a. Set your Tomcat Version
    b. Set your Tomcat Home
    c. Set "Context declaration mode" to server.xml
    d. Set the configuration file to the full path to your server.xml file created in step 8
    On the "Advanced " sub page select all relevant projects to add to the Tomcat classpath
    On the "JVM Settings" page add all the jars in your WEB-INF lib directory to the class path
    On the "Source Path" page select all relevant projects
    Now if you start Tomcat using the Tomcat icon, you will be able to remote debug your application. If you change web.xml (or any other file in your context.xml watched resources) it will automatically reload. Any changes to JSPs will automatically be picked up (providing your tell your browser not to use the page in cache - e.g. CTRL+F5 in IE)
    There are some limitations that I'm still working on however. Primarily that I haven't included the Tomcat Manager application in my webapps directory, so Sysdeo cannot perform a reload. This means that if I change a source file, and eclipse auotmatically rebuilds, Tomcat doesn't pick up the change unless I either change a watched resource file (e.g. web.xml) or stop and restart Tomcat.
    There's no reason why this can't be fixed, I just haven't got round to it yet.
    I'm sure there are lots of other (probably better) ways of achieving the same thing. This was the first method I tried and it worked, so I stuck with it. I'm not a Tomcat config guru and I'm sure other forum users could provide some improvements should they wish.
    Post if you get into trouble, however I won't be able to respond until next week.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • How can I avoid a full scan when ...

    Hello
    How can I avoid a full scan with I apply the aggregate function "MIN"
    SQL> select min(c1) from hh;
       MIN(C1)
             1
    Execution Plan

       2    1     TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'HH'Regards
    James King

    The table 'hh' does not have statistics. Assuming that there is an index on the column c1, statistics are computed on the table and its indexes, you may see a
    INDEX (FULL SCAN (MIN/MAX)) of the index on column 'c1'.
