Can't close tab

I can't close tab from safari. you know how when you open a new tab, and if you wants to close it, if you click on it, it shows a "x", so you can click and close the new tab. But from today, it doesn't appear, and I have to close each tab by right-clicking. HOw do i get back the "x" to close tab ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with 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).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • In Firefox 31.0 a bug makes the browser freeze, and then I can't close tabs anymore, what may solve this?

    Good afternoon. With the newest update of Firefox for PC (31.0), I have a problem that occurs almost every time I use the browser.
    When trying to close a tab, it sometimes cause the browser to freeze during one minute.
    Then a dialog-box appears on the screen. It says that the script "chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:2004" may be busy.
    I can choose between two buttons in this dialog-box.
    "Continue" which keeps the script running, in theory; though it just closes the dialog-box, makes the browser freeze again, and then the same dialog-box shows up.
    "Stop the script" which ends the freeze; but then I'm unable to close tabs (I can still close the browser).
    I also noticed that, when the freeze occurs, the content of the tab I tried to close changes to "New Tab".
    When I restart the browser, I am able to close tab again, until the freeze shows up again.
    The problem started to appear only when I updated Firefox to the 31.0 version (and I didn't add any browser extension in the meanwhile).
    Does anyone have an idea of what I could do to avoid the problem? Thank you very much and have a good day!

    In the immediate future you can try noscript or flashblock addons to block that script.
    However upon more research in searching the current Firefox codebase: [http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=tabbrowser.xml&case=false] it seems to be referenced in there, but I do not see a reference to the port associated. The port is usually used for media. I would not know how to start to troubleshoot this, but are there any consistent steps/webpages that cause this to start?
    Does this happen in Safe Mode, please see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]? And does it happen in a fresh install?

  • No "x" -- can't close tabs????

    safari has been running horribly slow, and then all of a sudden, the X disappears from all the tabs. Can't close them unless you click to pull down the menu. Also, the "quit" function isn't working. So i'm stuck. I've reset and emptyed the cache and all that jazz.
    while we're at it... i've been getting a ridiculous amount of beach balls in general.... i got lion about 2-3 months ago. it's slowed the computer a little, but this is definitely a new issue... anyone else??

    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    And disable Resume >  How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature - MacRumors.com
    And about the beachballs, how much free space on the startup disk? Not enough can slow the drive down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides

  • Can't close firefox tabs even in safemode. (Windows 7)

    I normally run firefox with NoScript and AdBlock. Lately I have been unable to close tabs and after research saw that it was recommended to try safe mode. Safe mode has been working fine for me, but just now I cleared my cache and now I can't close tabs even in safe mode.
    Edit: Shortly after posting this question, I tried to open a new tab and firefox froze up. I had to close it via the task manager.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder

    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • Can remotely close Safari tabs on Macbook but not iPhone/iPad.

    I am unable to remotely close iCloud Safari tabs on my mobile devices. iPhone and iPad are running iOS 8, and my Macbook Pro is running Yosemite. I can remotely close tabs from my Macbook, but when I try to swipe to delete iCloud tabs from my iPhone or iPad, I swipe, the red delete button shows up, but then I tap delete and nothing happens - the tab stays there and is still open on the original device.

    I have been experiencing the exact same problems. Any help is appreciated!

  • In windows 7, firefox 4.0.1, How do you close tabs so they don't open every time I open firefox?

    Can't close tabs so they don't open every time I open Firefox.

    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 file and possible sessionstore-##.js 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).

  • 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.

  • I lost the close tab under File, how can i get it back

    if i don't have the close tab under File, i have to exit totally out of firefox which i don't want to do. How can I get the close button back?

    Hi,
    Please try pressing '''Alt''' + '''F''' on the keyboard. This brings out the full '''File''' menu. You can also try to close a tab by pressing the middle button of the mouse when the mouse pointer is over a tab, or clicking on the '''x''' on the right edge of a tab.

  • Can't close a tab(

    While crossing the Web opened that link in google http://beginning.etxddwgiedhndnfgfd.info/antvrs/#
    I can't close it(
    Maybe somebody knows what i have to do?

    If Command - W or clciking the x in the tab won't work, then quit Safari & re-open it while holding the shift key.

  • When closing how can I close each tab rather than multiple/all tabs

    I click the X to close and the pop up choice is all actually the number of open tabs (3 or 4 etc) or cancel. When I use Internet Explorer I can close each one at a time. "close all tabs or just this one" until all are closed

    I don't know whether that is a built-in option.
    Perhaps you can get used to a different way of closing tabs... You should have a small "x" on each tab, or you can right-click a tab and choose Close Tab, or you can press Ctrl+w to close the currently displayed tab. What do you think?

  • Often with 2 or 3 tabs/websites open, the tab does not have the X on the right side to close it. I have to right clock and hit Close Tab. Seems random. How can I assure all tabs have the X?

    Sometimes when I have 2 or more websites open, the tabs for them do not have the"X" on the right end that I can click to close them. Others right next to it may have the X or not - it seems random. The only way to close the x-less tabs is to right click and select Close tab. How do I tweak it so there are always X's? The only relevant add-on I can think of is Colorful Tabs, and I have the latest version of it.

    If you are not new to browsers, you would probably prefer the single "X" at the far right of the tabs bar to close the active tab, but in any case your choices are described for the configuration option of '''browser.tabs.closeButtons''', see

  • How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour?

    I am using JDevelepor 11.1.2.1.0 Version
    I Am New In ADF
    How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour? When i close the tab I ned to rollback the transaction else where when reopen the taskflow it show an error message duplicate key..
    So how i can handle?

    Download the sample at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2012/12-mar/o22adf-1518265.html . frank states -
    The CustomerOrdersCRUD-btf task flow in the BoundedTaskFlows.jws workspace accompanying this sample, for example,
    uses the tabContext reference to close the tab displaying the task flow upon rollback and commit—which also is when the task flow is exited.
    In addition, when data changes are performed within a task flow, the tab’s dirty state is changed to indicate to the template that the tab title needs to be shown in italics.
