Can't Close the Tabs in Safari

The X at the top right of each tab in Safari have dissappeared and I can't close individual tabs that I have open.
I would have to click FIle and then Close tab for each tab that is open. I like the other way better. What happened to it and how do I get the 'X' back? Thanks for your help!!
p.s. I'm using a desktop

Hello LexSchellings,
No there is no other icon besides the X to close the tab.
I don't think anyone installed any new software, extensions or plugin for safari. I share this computer with three other people so might be a possibility but I highly doubt it. I was trying to see if I can fix this issue by customizing my toolbar but there is no option for the tabs. Thank you for taking the time to help me with this!

  • How can I disable the tabs in safari on the ipad2

    How can I disable the tabs on safari on my ipad2. I hate the tabs!!!

    You can't, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll get the choice of tabs or thumbnail/paged browsing : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    In the meantime I think that the (free) Opera browser and the iCab Mobile browser in the app store offer thumbnail browsing to some degree.

  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

    Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

  • 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
    In case you are having difficulties with regular vs. private browsing windows after the changes in Firefox 20, see whether this article helps: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].

  • I can't close one window in Safari.

    I can't close one window in Safari. I'm on an iMac 27", OSX 10.9.4 and using Safari Version 7.0.5. I have several windows open - one with the header in grey (as they appear when not selected) and am able to individually close the other windows. The problem window has several tabs. I cannot close that window. If I try to select it, the top bar remains grey. I've quit and restarted, run disc utilities, run permissions and no problems show. At a loss how to handle this. I do not have this problem with Firefox.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

    No, you can only close each tab by tapping the X to close.

  • When I close a tab it closes all tabs in safari

    Something happened to my safari appearance.  One, I have lost the search bar that use to be on the upper right hand side, and two, when I go to close a tab in safari, it closes all of my open tabs in safari.  I don't remember how to get that back.

  • How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?

    How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?  I keep a lot of open windows e.g., 25 windows and many tabs on each) and like to work between a few at a time.  The problem is that Safari reorganizes windows alphabetically.  Once I open a new window, it take a while to find the windows I'm looking for.  Chrome and Firefox list the open windows chronologically which I find much easier.  The newest windows are at the bottom of the list.

  • How do I close the tab as the "x" is no longer there since updating system

    Eek! Lost the 'x' on the tabs in Safari!

  • Clinking on the X does not close the Tab

    Recently I had to run the Loaris Trojan remover to get rid of something that hijacked my home page and search engine. I also had to reset the Firefox defaults. Somewhere in there I lost the ability to close a Tab by clicking on the X. The X is there but it does no close the Tab when I click on it. The only way I can close Tabs is to completely Exit Firefox and relaunch.
    How do I restore closing Tabs?

    Did you try the '''safe mode''' option ?
    Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Thank you.

  • Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?

    Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but Microsoft Update couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?

    Hi Diovizor,
    Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
    Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I STOP the TABS from Automaticly Expanding to the right?

    I don't like several new features.
    1) It is extremely difficult to tell which TAB belongs to the page I'm viewing. This causes me to constantly close the Wrong Page.
    2) When I do close a Tab, the remaining Tabs expand to fill the "Tab Bar" leaving No Blank Space.

    Hi,
    You can try a different theme for Firefox that provides a greater contrast between the active and inactive tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
    Please note that some of the themes have a thinner tab bar and may diminish the height of the tab bar.
    or
    You can try the add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/ ColorfulTabs] without changing the theme. It has an option to [https://www.binaryturf.com/free-software/colorfultabs-for-firefox/colorfultabs-documentation-and-help/#3 fade the inactive tabs]. Please note that ColorfulTabs may have issues when used with other Firefox themes.
    You can prevent filling the tab bar to an extent by using the '''Pin as App Tab''' feature. Right-click on a tab and choose '''Pin as App Tab'''. To unpin, right-click on the pinned tab and choose '''Unpin Tab'''.
