Cannot close tabs as sites open, no 'X' in tabs. Each new site visited creates another, unclsable tab.

On all 4 betas, including RC, each time I visit a website, a new tab opens, which has no 'X' to close, thus it stays open until I close Firefox and restart. How do I close a tab to a visited site? It really clutters things.
Previous versions (3 series) have an 'X' which allows one to close an open tab. None of the betas or current RC have a close button.
Do I have to exit Firefox in order to get rid of a dozen unclosable tabs? Only way around I found so far is to disable tabs.

cor-el,
The last time was a charm. I went in Safe mode, reset to defaults and viola, all is well! I had to re-sign in Last Pass & a few others, but not only do I have my 'Xs' back, but Firefox 4 now remembers my sign in, etc., just like the 'old days'.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

Quit Mail, Trash this file...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...

Reboot & test.

Would like each new site / link to open in tab as default. is this possible please?

I would like each new web site or link to open in a new tag as default rather than right click and 'open in new tab'. is this possible please?

No built-in function to '''''automatically''''' do that, but you can:
*right-click link or bookmark and choose Open in New Tab
*middle-click link or bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel
*CTRL+left click link or bookmark
NOTE: Options => Tabs => 'open new windows in a new tab' works only '''''when coding on a web page''''' would otherwise open a link in a new window.

How do I disable this feature? As you're opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you'll be directed to the existing tab so you don't open a duplicate.

When I am in my classroom where I am teaching, I sometimes open a duplicate tab so I can go back and forth while I am grading. This gives me the assignment and grade book open at the same time. This is much faster than opening and closing the two screens as I have to do when I can't open a duplicate site.
If I cannot disable this feature, can I undo this upgrade and return to the previous version? Thanks for your help.

When you enter a site in the URL/Location/Address bar and see "Switch to tab" in the drop-down, you can
*use ALT+Enter to open the new (duplicate) tab anyway
*use CTRL+left-click on the original tab and drag it until you see an up arrow from below the break point between two tabs, then release the left-click key, then release the CTRL key to get a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (Back/Forward)
*press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
*Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
*Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
You can install this Add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

After updating to iOs 8 I cannot close out programs which is eating data

After my son updated his 5s iphone to i0S 8, he cannot close out any programs open, which is eating up data when not connected to wifi. He rebooted and it still will not close them out. Has anyone else had this problem?

Well he is doing the same he has done in the past. Double tap home and swipe them up. When he double taps home now, it does nothing.

Link to a new site that opens within my site

Can someone tell me how I can create a link to an external site, where the site opens up within the body of my site? Do I need a javascript for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
The iframe option is fabulous. I've used it for my ebay link as well as a "news" section.
I do still have one issue with the "news" section – I seem to have my background image from the body showing through in the padding of the div that holds the iframe. I've tried everything, but can't seem to get rid of it! I didn't have this problem with the ebay link and didn't have this problem before I added the iframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks again!

IWeb not opening after some issues with an existing site...

Hi there~
I’m a relatively new Mac user and a former PC/Dreamweaver user. I’m having a bit of an issue with iWeb. I’ll do my best to keep what happened relatively brief:
1. I had created and published a site a couple of months ago, but the page that contained photo albums seemed to have become corrupted. Every time I tried to open that page, iWeb would crash.
2. I recreated that page but then was not able to delete the corrupted version. So I recreated the whole site.
3. I published the new site, and everything seemed to be working well in the live version.
4. To avoid confusion in the future, I wanted to get rid of the old site. When I deleted that site, I saw that it said something about deleting it from the Web as well. I realized that this may cause problems because most of the pages would have the same names, but I was hopeful that since the new site had all of the pages I could just republish.
5. The new site did indeed get messed up after I deleted the old site. So I set the new site to republish, and then I got an error message.
6. I figured just for safety’s sake I would undo the deletion of the old site and just leave it for a while in the hopes that the new site would then work again.
7. After I did this, the old files reappeared, but then iWeb froze. (I think... My memory is a little fuzzy here...)
8. I closed and reopened iWeb, but all that appeared was that little right-hand box that lets you see the properties of certain things (Page, Photos, Text, etc). I also restarted the computer, and now when I open iWeb, that little box is still all that I’m getting.
I grabbed what I could from the live version and my history files so that I can recreate the site from scratch if I need to, so I’m not terribly worried about getting my files back. I did have another site created in iWeb that seemed to be fine, it would be nice to not have to start over with that one, but obviously I can if needed. Maybe those files can be found elsewhere on my computer?
So will I be able to get iWeb back? Do I need to reinstall it? If so, how do I do that? (Maybe that’s a question for another forum. iLife was installed on the Mac when we got it, I looked briefly for the files on the Applications CD but got a little scared off when I saw something about bundled applications...)
Thanks so much for any help. I called tech support and was directed here, this is new for me, so I hope I’m going about this in the right way. I’ll spend some time looking around to see if anyone has addressed this elsewhere, I just wanted to get things down while it was all relatively fresh in my head.
Thank you!
Jen

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
. Every time I tried to open that page,
That sounds like the problem described here with potential fixes: iWeb & iWork: Applications may suddenly quit after updating to Mac OS X v10.6.2. This is another possible fix: The million dollar trick or how to fix iWeb in 10.6.2

I can't open a new tab by clicking on it or going to file/new tab

Clicking on the new tab doesn't open it, and going to file/new tab won't open a new tab either.

I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

Iweb - does creating a new site delete the previous site?

I'm having a meltdown. Had my career website built via iweb some time ago, and tonight, was experimenting with iweb for a new website for another unrelated project. So I created a "new site," never suspecting that it would affect my previous website.
I wanted to see how the new site looked, so I published, and now my career website seems to have disappeared! Spent weeks building that site! (photos, films, etc.) Does iweb only allow for one website? It had a (slightly) different address when the new site published. But now my career domain name goes to the new unrelated website. The new site was a lark -- REALLY need my career website back up and running. Any way to find/retrieve it?
Is there no warning? -- if you go create a "new site" and go to publish, and the new site DOES replace the old, is there really no warning???

scottnmarty wrote:
How do I get it back (as my iweb site and linked to my career domain site?)
Try publishing all the pages of your "career" site by clicking on its name in iWeb's left sidebar and choosing File > Publish Entire Site.
See also this article:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
...it says: +"When you will publish and upload to the same account entering your url in a browser you will be redirected to the site for which you hit “Publish entire site” last."+

And is there any way to save what I've done with the new website before I replace it with my old site???
It will still be accessible at:

But read this:
