Cannot close tabs in Firefox 4 - only able to access 1st and last tab...nothing in between

As the title says... even if I hover over tabes between 1st and last tabes adn right click, 'close tab' still doesn't close

nearly. when there are 2 tabs, when I move mouse over the second tab's closing X, OR the new tab opener + near it, it doesn't highlight so I cannot click on them although the area where I can click can be found a bit left for the X and a bit right for the +. If there are more tabs open, only the second tab's closing problem stays, the new-tab-opener's goes. /default theme/

  • "X" in Safari tabs are gone: cannot close tabs

    I cannot close tabs that I've opned in safari.
    Any Ideas?

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one and stop when the problem is solved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
    2. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm.
    3. If applicable, uninstall Glims and/or an application called "RedQuits." Log out or restart the computer.
    4. Start up in safe mode. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, stop here and post your results. If you still have the problem in safe mode, go to the next step.
    5. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • When i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes store'...i'm able to access podcasts and itunesU but not itunes store. This is very strange as i can access app's store

    when i click on itunes on my ipad2 i get the error ..'cannot connect to itunes'...I'm able to access podcasts and itunes U but not itunes store..my apps store and safari are also working perfectly but don't know whats the issue with i tunes store...i use an airtel broadband connection through a wifi router..pls help

    I was having this problem. The settings on my wireless router was set to hide my IP address so it wouldn't connect. When I changed that, I connected no problem. While this is annoying since I don't want my IP address to be out there, I just switch my router when I need to connect to the App/iTunes Store. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

  • TS4036 My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

    My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7.  Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

  • I new V5 cannot close tabs without opening a blank first, why?

    Hi,
    Firefox 5 update installed 2 days ago. Now tabbed browsing opens new sites but I cannot access the x to close tabs until I open a blank tab after which the x appear in the other tabs. I do have colourful tabs installed.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

    When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
    Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
    I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • Cannot Close Tabs in Minefield That's Running Flash

    Just wanted to report a bug I've been noticing.  I'm using Minefield (64-bit) prerelease 4.0b7pre and when I have a tab open that has 64-bit flash running in it, I cannot close the tab anymore.  I need to close the entire browser instead.  This is repeatable regardless of the websites I visit, e.g. Stormpulse.com, Weather.com, Youtube.com.
    Thanks,
    Cythth

    Press apple shift and delete
    If that does not work try this:
    click on Finder in the lower left corner.
    Then, in the top left corner click on the word finder
    Scroll down to "Secure Empty Trash"
    This will delete any file that may be open.

    Cannot get my emails despite logging in with my correct username and password

    Hello, Valeriemitchell. 
    Thank you for the question.  Since you are able to access your email account on other device, this issue could be related to a security feature offered by your email host.  Without knowing which email host you use, I will include the best resources that I can.  Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles.  The first article covers basic email troubleshooting.  The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

  • Read Only privileges for Access Server and Identity Server - OAM 10g

    Hi,
    I am working on Oracle Access Manager 10g version 10.1.4.
    I use an administrative account that is a member of the 'COREid Administrators' group to log into the access console and identity console of OAM.
    Since this is the administrative account, it has the rights to modify and update all access/identity entities.
    How can I set up an account that has "view only" privileges over all access and identity objects in OAM?
    I need to log into the access and identity consoles of OAM and view all policy domains/policies/access system configuration/user manager config/group manager config etc bt not be able to modify any of them.
    Is there a way to setup such an account in OAM?
    Regards,
    Abhishek.

    Hi Abhishek,
    It is possible to define different levels of administrator, but it is not possible to give an admin read access (to objects in the consoles) without also giving modify access. I do not believe that there is a straightforward way to meet this requirement - for the Access System you could use the Policy Manager API and write your own interface (which does not have the ability to modify) but obviously this would be some development effort.
    Regards,
    Colin
