Can I close one tab without exiting the app?

I cannot find an icon or link to allow me to close an individual tab without shutting down the entire application. can't imagine you would have eliminated that. Thanks, rob

Thanks, Matt
I phrased my question badly, but also experimented and found the answer.
I intended to describe the situation where I had more than one window open, with several tabs in each.
Often, I will want to close all the tabs in one window while keeping the other window active.
I used to use the "Close this Tab" link in the menu to do that.
I experimented with using the "X" in the upper right of the window, since the tab itself disappears when there is just one open in a window ... and that worked.
Thanks, again
(Not as simple as before, but I guess they value less "clutter" in the menus ?)

  • I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

    the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

    Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.

  • When trying to close one tab, i get the message "you are about to close 2 tabs" this is not what I want. I only want to close one tab at a time in English

    I only want to close one tab at a time

    ONLY 8 people have this problem?
    Look, virtually all Mozilla's potential users are coming from Internet Exploder, which gets this ALMOST RIGHT, while FireF*x does it totally wrong. Including in webmail: there's no way I could have got to this forum without leaving 4 windows active or closing everything, including closing my mail without logging out.
    ONLY 8 PEOPLE? How many thousand simply throw up their hands & uninstall yr f- nurdware over this one single issue? Not to bore you with details, but I'm hardly unsympathetic to open sources that don't look like the best argument for Micros**t and Google hegemony.
    Btw, I said they get it -almost- right... It would be really nice if IE or >somebody< offered a checkbox to NEVER close multiple tabs. Look, if this bug disguised as a feature is useful to a few nurds by all means keep it as an advanced option, but PLEASE set up FireFox so it at least defaults to the real world.

  • How can I close one window without closing all open windows?

    If I open more than one window, I can't close just one. When I try to close just one, I'm warned that I'm about to close more than one (all of them) but I'm not told how to close just one.

    Are you sure you aren't getting tabs confused for windows? If you close a window containing multiple tabs, Firefox should give you a warning that you are about to close several tabs. To close a tab do one of the following:
    * click the x at the right end of the tab (when you only have a few tabs open)
    * open the tab you want to close, then click the x that appears
    * right click the tab and select 'Close Tab'
    * open the tab you want to close and press Ctrl+W
    You can close a window using Ctrl+Shift+W.

  • How can I navigate through tabs without using the mouse?

    I want to know how to navigate through tabs without using a mouse... just like you can navigate through multiple windows by using <alt><tab> ... because it's extremely annoying when I'm working on something to have to take my hands off the keyboard and go to the mouse.

    You can also use Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down to go to the next and previous tab. I prefer those because it doesn't require the Shift key (Shift + Ctrl+ Tab) to go to the previous tab.

  • How can I close ALL tabs and clear the entire history?

    Since an update, I can no longer clear all my history... I cannot close a remaining tab. As much as thios has been my favorite browser, I am annoyed at the failure to protect privacy, and am considering deleting this entire program. Please give me a way to correct this and return to an earlier version.

    To close the tab you're viewing, you can press Ctrl+w. Does that still leave an uncloseable tab? Is it a built-in page or a page on the web?
    There are many methods to delete history in Firefox. Which is the one you're using to clear history? Is it one of these?
    * Menu: History > Clear Recent History
    * Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h): select entire list > right-click > Delete this page

  • How can i find my ipod without using the app

    i lost my ipod and i dont know where it is. i dont own a iphone to use the finding app. what can i do?

    The "finding app" or iphone has nothing to do with it.
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an aproximate stree address using icloud.com.
    Otherwise, you annot track it.

  • Close the last tab without closing the firefox app

    greetings!
    1.I would like to close the last tab without closing the app. The behaviour I expect is the app to open a new blank tab when I close the last tab. Currently I cannot close the last tab which already has some website opened in it.
    2. When I open a new tab, i'm forced to enter a website address. I expect to the app to simply open a blank new tab & leave it to me whether to enter a address or not.
    Thanks for your support. I love firefox for Android.

    well, I would prefer to leave it to the end user whether he wants the awesome screen while pressing a new tab button/ or open a simple blank page. Let him choose it in the config.
    regards,

  • I can no longer close one tab at a time from the file tab. It is no longer an option

    The file tab used to have an option to close one tab at a time. It is no longer available in file. If i close using the "X" it closes all of the tabs out.

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).<br />
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.

  • How can I only close one tab, not two or more tabs at a time?

    I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to my email or original page, but I only get the message that I will close all tabs. I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to the previous tab that I have open, not have to go back and sign in to my email when it should still be open. This works with Internet Explorer, why can it not work with Firefox?

    The dialog Firefox displays when you click the "close window" (X) button doesn't have the option to only close the current tab. Instead, you can use one of these methods to close just the current tab:
    * Click the "x" that should appear on the current tab itself
    * Right-click the current tab > Close tab
    * Press Ctrl+w to close the current tab
    (Note: If you accidentally press Ctrl+w twice, you can re-open the tab by pressing Ctrl+Shift+t to Undo Close Tab)

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.
