Cannot close tab groups. Close button fails even wtih empty window.

When I create tab groups, I cannot close them. The red X close tab group button does not work. I can resize, add or remove sites, even remove all sites. But I cannot get the close tab group button to function.

Safari 5.1.2 Tab Close Button on Different Sides in Windows

I'm not sure if this is unique to my computer(s), but I've noticed that the tab close button is on different sides in the Mac & Windows versions of Safari. On my Mac, the close button is on the Left-Hand side with the tab text centered on the tab. On my Windows, the close button is on the Right-hand side with the tab text justified to the left.
Why the difference in UI? I do quite a bit of browsing on both computers and I find that I'm constantly having to try to remember where I am to determine where the stupid close button is.
I've looked around in both the Mac & Windows versions and I can't find an option that specifies where the button is show and whether the text is justified or not.

OK, here's what I'm talking about. This is a screen capture of a tab from the Macintosh version of Safari:
Notice how the "X" to close the tab is on the left-hand side and the text of the tab is centered on the width of the tab.
Here is a screenshot of the Windows version of Safari:
You can see how the tab is much smaller for one, but also how the text is justified to the left with the "X" to close the tab appearing on the right side of the tab instead of the left.
I don't really prefer one over the other (ie. left or right side), I just wondered if there's some setting to make them act the same way on both so that I don't have to constantly remember what OS I'm on in order to remember where the darn "X" is to close the tab.

Thanks For Your Support in advance i want to know that when I open a website that time view print option and when I click close button then page also new window page also close. I want to copy it how i can stop this print option?

WHEN I OPEN A URL THAT TIME WITH PAGE OPEN SHOWS PRINT OPTION AND WHEN I CLICK CLOSE BUTTON OF PRINT OPTION THAT TIME NEW WINDOW BUTTON IS CLOSED. I WANT TO CLOSE ONLY PRINT OPTION. PLEASE HELP ME...............THANKS

Many sites which offer specific "print formatted" pages do that: they assume that once you have finished with the print dialog you no longer want the page itself. So for your convenience they close it. Not so convenient for you, since you still want to view the page.
I'm not aware of an easy solution for this. I can think of a couple different approaches.
First, maybe there's an add-on to solve this? That would be easiest.
Second, maybe there's a userscript to solve this?
The Greasemonkey add-on runs userscripts which you can copy or download. Be careful to install only long-establish and trusted scripts. (''Is there a site that has this bad behavior that I can view without logging in? I will test one of my existing scripts to see whether it helps.'')
Third, Firefox has an old system for restricting site permissions in a custom text file in your profile folder (named user.js). Editing this file is a bit advanced, and I haven't been able to test it, but the system works along these lines:
 // Define a policy name for window.close permission
// (assumes you don't have this pref already)
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nowindowclose");
// Define policy: disable sites from using window.close
// in their scripts
user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.Window.close", "noAccess");
// List of sites subject to this policy
user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.sites", "firstbadsite.com secondbadsite.com");
Again, I haven't tested that and recommend looking into add-ons first.

Can an entire "tab group" (Panorama) be moved to a "new window"?

While looking at my tab groups in the new Panorama feature of Firefox 4, I would have expected that there would be a way move an entire group to a new window, but could not find a way to do this.
Is there a way? Right-click in the tab-group would be a good way, IMHO.

That functionality was shelved for Fx4. It may come to life in a later version of Firefox. There are bug requests on file for a whole slew of cross windows based functionality for Panorama.
Cheers.

Firefox will not open, says "already running". At task manager I cancelled process, and still no result. I then uninstalled all firefox files, and reinstalled. I still get same error message. I cannot open any firefox page. I have skype.

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
I don't know what to do can someone give directions

Minimize / restore / close buttons are not themed on Windows 8.1

Hi, I use latest version of Firefox, I'm running Windows 8.1 64
After i installed theme, my top right buttons (close etc..) are not themed but have default window color, it's a little annoying and i'm not the only one who have this trouble.
Screenshot: http://puu.sh/dywJG/3b4bb357d9.png

Hello,
Unfortunately I believe you will actually need to change your whole Windows desktop theme in order to change those buttons. Perhaps this link can help you:

EDIT: The relevant part might be:
* Right click the Desktop and select Personalize.
* In the top Themes section scroll down and click Get more Themes online.

Can i retain my app tabs & tab groups in new firefox window after i close one ??

Just upgraded to Firefox 5 and used the awesome features of app tabs and tab groups, but ah ! i closed my browser and when i opened it again, everything was lost. :(
How can i retain my app tabs and tab groups when i open a new browser window after closing the one in which these were created ?
Will be a great help if we can do it.

Thx for your answer.
But when I select the option to empty everything when I close Firefox I can chose what is deleted
- Cookies
- Download history
- Cache
etc...
There should be an option for pinned tabs. Especially because this tabs are not simple tabs but tabs you want to keep.
The only solution I have found so far is to keep emptying everything and to ask to Firefox to start a folder of bookmarks as my homepage (homepage <=> several URLs separated with | )
But it opens wide tabs and not small pinned ones :/
We should have the option !

Message window, "This program cannot display the web page", and there's no close button to delete it. The only way I can get rid of it is to re-start my computer. Any ideas?

Can I send you the jpeg of the message window, please? It's the best way I can describe it. There's a blue-coloured circular icon with a white "i" within the circle, but, as I said, no close button at any of the window corners

Hard restart.. While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button. Hold them down and keep them held down. the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen. keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release. This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process. If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off. Good luck

After customizing Leopard icons: I have no minimize/maximum/close buttons on every window

hey,
I was so careless to play with some 3rd party icons, which were in .icns format (Mistikons09_ic.dmg). Actually, I was so stupid that I didn't use some software (eg. CandyBar) to open those .icns files. After I accidently clicked on one of those .icns file, the minimize/maximum/close buttons were gone from every window frame, and only left some tiny dots on the original location...In addition, some small components of the GUI were also changed, as shown below...
Then I tried to use CandyBar or some other softwares to restore the default Leopard icons, but I failed...
Can anyone kind to tell me how to restore everything?
Thank you so much!

You're going to have to reinstall the system. Fortunately, the Snow Leopard installer will install right on top of your existing system, so you'll have minimal disruption. (Have backups just in case, though!) After reinstalling, run Software Update to bring everything back up-to-date.

To disable close button of the UDF form

Hi,
I need to disable the close button of a UDF form. Can anyone help me pls.
Manu.

Hi Manu,
Herewith a code example... This would disable the close button on the Sales Order window (and only the first window)
Dim oform As SAPbouiCOM.Form
'loop through all the forms here if you need
'i am using "-FormType" here as the UDF window has the same UID as the normal form, but with negative sign
oform = oApplication.Forms.GetForm("-139", 0)
Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
'Close button is 4
oItem = oform.Items.Item("4")
'Disable button
oItem.Enabled = False
Hope it helps,
Adele

How to disable close button during runtime

While running the form, in window there will be two close button, one is in form and another one is in Internet Explorer. By making changes on the property what you said above this will hide only the form's close button. I want to hide the internet explorer close button also.
Thanks in advance.

How do I organise tab groups automatically?

I've got around 30 tab groups with a total of around 100 windows(tabs) spread among them.
Right now all my tab groups just go where they want. Is there a 'tile tab groups' option or even an addon would be good.
It would be best if they sorted themselves out alphabetically rather than having me move them all around, it freezes FF for upto a minute when I move a single tab... I think it's because I have so many they all try to move and resize when one gets dropped in the middle of them

Which boxes are currently ticked in Clear Recent History?
*Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
Clear Recent History is not enabled by default, so if it is now then you or an extension did enable that. 
If you want to keep using it then you only need to make sure that the "Browsing History" don't have a tick to prevent App Tabs from being removed (App Tabs are considered as history because you visit sites).

How do I save or set default Tab Groups?

There are many questions like this already, but non for the actual FF4 release.
When I close FF4 I lose all my tab groups.
If I tell FF to open previously opened tabs, it saves the tabs & tab groups of the '''most recently closed FF4 window'''. This means that if I have 2 FF windows open and I close the one that has all of my favorite tabs, I've just lost everything.
I'm sure there is a setting somewhere to "bake" or set basic tab groups. (perhaps a folder that I could bookmark my defaults to?)
I really don't want to have to install an add on to make tab groups useful.

App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History"

How do I delete a tab group or stop it from opening all tabs eveytime I start firefox?

I never set up a tab group but somehow I have one with three tabs in it and I have gone to the group and clicked on the X in the top right corner but it continues to open every tab in the group every time I open a browser. I don't want ANY of these opened, I don't even want a tab group, how do I delete this group thing and how do I make it stop opening these web pages?

Thank-you for your response however, I have NO IDEA what you are talking about. I don't know how to check to see what Firefox is set at upon opening, I didn't change anything, when I click on the Firefox it opens three tabs, none of which are my home page, if I click on it again it will open just one, my home page but I can't get this tab group to go away. I never set any tab group and didn't even know they existed until I tried to open a browser and got the three open tabs, that is when I started looking at the help topics to see what the hell....
So I ask again, how do I delete A tab group?

I click on firefox but a dead tab shows up and I cannot find home page and it won't go away by pressing the red close button. What can I do to restore my tabs?

My tabs are all disappeared behind a link I opened which is blank and dead, and I cannot close it to restore my tabs or get to any website other than this dead link... Help!
