Close tab icon missing

Each Tab normally has a "x" to close each Tab - this is missing and I have to left click and close tab - any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

How many tabs do you have open? 
If there are a lot of tabs open then only the active tab has a close button.

With multiple tabs open, I use to click File, close tab---now close tab is missing and I exit out of Firefox completely. How do I get that choice back "close tab" in the "File" drop down? Thanks. George C.

The drop down "FILE" in the tool bar use to have a choice to "CLOSE TAB". This is now missing so when I have multiple tabs open and I want to close the most recent, I cannot. I then get warned that I will be closing multiple numbers of tabs, but there is no other choice.

New Tab icon missing from FF17 on Win7-64, not missing from FF17 on XPSP3-32; why?

The navigation toolbar icon set has "New Tab" available in FF16 and FF17 on Win XPSP3 (32bit), but this control is not in the customization set in FF17 on Win7HP (64bit). How do a get the "New Tab" control in the toolbar in Win7?

Dragging a link on the New Tab toolbar button (either on the Tab Bar or if you have moved it to another toolbar) on to empty space on the Tab bar still works for me to open this link in a new tab.

Why are all the close tab buttons missing?

Yesterday, I was using Firefox 25.0.1 with no issues. Today I launched Firefox, only to find that the [X] buttons for the tabs are gone! Instead, I saw a single [x] button on the rightmost side of the tabs bar, which closes the active tab. There were no changes/updates that I made to Firefox between yesterday and today. I checked the browser.tabs.closeButtons parameter, and saw that it was still set to 1. Changing it has no effect. What's going on?
Thanks,
Teraforce88

What really pisses me off is that we have to use an addon to make Firefox work like IT SHOULD. Now FF gets updated again and our addon is broken. The arrogance of the developers who made the call to force a tab bar at all times is astounding. Because they always have tabs open, I guess that means the rest of the internet should too.

Can't find the close tab icon...does not appear on the tab...using 4.0.1 for Mac

According to descriptions provided by Firefox, there should be an X to click on to close the tab...I can't find this. Have restarted Firefox to no avail.

'X' to close tab is missing

There used to be a red 'x' on each tab for closing the tab.
This has disappeared in Firefox 8.0.1.
Any chance of getting it back?

Signal icons for available networks on wifi tab are missing :(

ive been having this problem since i upgraded to mountain lion.. the signal icons for available networks on wifi tab are missing..i do not have any problem with my connection but it would be better to see signal status before i connect to any available network....this is what it looks like...

i did that many times but its still not working . its only for the icon on the menu bar which i have...i'm missing those signal icons beside the lock icons when im trying to search for available networks. ..if you could notice the above photo, i encircled it..the lock icon is usually accompanied by a status signal icon but its now gone....

The x mark at the right corner of each tab is missing in my ff4.1. I have to right click the tab and then choose the close tab from the drop down? Is this a bug or am i missing something

Addons i have installed are

I think we can eliminate the graphics card as a suspect (and therefore its driver). I just re-connected my monitor using the internal graphics processor. The Intel 4600. Not fantastic but actually has better features than the card I had hooked up before. (I might as well stay with this for now. It's an HDMI hook up.)
The problem is still there.
This gets more curious all the time. At this point It would seem that the the likelihood of this being a bug is more or less zero, as myself and one other individual are the only ones reporting it.
So, I'm thinking it has to be a flawed install. Maybe some line/lines of code are corrupt, if that can happen while still maintaining the rest of the programs integrity.
Any other thoughts anyone?
Derek.

Firefox 4 the "close tab" button is missing from the "File" pull down

In Firefox 4 the "close tab" button does not appear in the "File" pull down.
This button does appear in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.
I need it when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close one window.
The only option presented to me is "Quit" which closes both windows...

I agree with what you said,
"OK. While of nuisance value [why isn't this the default?]"
Why isn't it the default?
Why force users to switch from a mouse to a keyboard (control-w) just to close a tab?

Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

Hello, and thank you for your reply.
I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

UIShell Pattern + Close tab

Hello,
I am using,
Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.2.0
Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.2.0_GENERIC_091029.2229.5536
Developed sample application using the UIShell Pattern,UI Shell pattern is great concept&model to implement:-)
But I am facing weird issue with close button which does close opened tab. In my application rollback and commit methods are overridden using the custom data control factory classes.Whenever user clicks close tab button
control goes to rollback method in custom control data control class.
Is this something expected?? or am I missing something?
Close button code
<af:commandImageLink icon="/oracle/ui/pattern/dynamicShell/images/close.png"
hoverIcon="/oracle/ui/pattern/dynamicShell/images/closeHover.png"
actionListener="#{viewScope.tabContext.tabRemovedEvent}"
rendered="#{viewScope.tabContext.selectedTabIndex != -1}"
immediate="true"
partialSubmit="true"
id="pt_cil1"/>

Dynamic Tab UI Shell - close tab action & number of open tabs control

Hi,
I browsed through the forum, but could not get hold of any concrete solution for the question on how to capture the close tab action event and perform some action on that?
The below thread discusses my question but does not appear to have a proper solution
Re: Dynamic Tab UI Shell: controlling the Close icon
And one other question is, currently in the TabContext the number of open tabs is set to 15 limit. How can I override that such that I do not allow more than 7 tabs open at a time?
Please help me with the above two queries. Thanks !
Regards,
SS

Sorry for so much delay. Finally, got some time to play with the template and downloading the dynamicTabTemplate source code and overriding the closeIcon worked like a charm.
Let me summarize what I did to help someone who is looking for this :)
1) Downloaded the source code for dynamicTabTemplate
2) Added and additional attribute closeTab to the template
+<attribute>+
+<attribute-name>closeTab</attribute-name>+
+<attribute-class>java.lang.String</attribute-class>+
+<required>+
true
+</required>+
+</attribute>+
2) edited the dynamicTabShell.jspx, closeIcon commanlink actionListener to be bound to "#{viewScope.tabContext.closeIcon}"
3) Implemented the closeIcon method in TabContext
+@Override+
+public void closeIcon(ActionEvent actionEvent) {+
CloseIconInterface bean = getBean();
bean.closeIcon(actionEvent);
+}+
4) Generated the jar.
5) Removed the oracle provided default dynamicTabTemplate jar and instead added my custom generated jar to the application
6) Applied the new template
7) Set all the attributes along with the new closeTab attribute. This would take the BackingBean name...example: <f:attribute name="closeTab" value="#{xxxScope.xxxBean}"/>
8) Made xxxBean to implement CloseTabInterface
9) Implemented the closeIcon method with custom code to confirm page close before removing the Tab.
However like you said, i'll keep tab on future updates to the default tab template updates to not miss any bug fixes or enhancements.
Thanks everyone who looked into this for me and Hope this helps someone else :)...Good luck !

Unable to close tabs

Hi,
Recently, tonight, I've noticed issues trying to close tabs. Clicking the 'x' does not work, going to file - > close tab, nor does Ctrl+W. I think earlier I had to open the task manager to shut down the program.
Extensions/add-ons I am running are personas, Norton IPS, Norton toolbar, and Adblock Plus 1.31. I am running Windows 7 on a 3 months old laptop. All updates should be current.
The only thing I have installed tonight is Google Earth. That might have been a reinstall... or an over install. I actually noticed some issues with that earlier as well but I can't seem to remember them

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has 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).
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.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t wohrk in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
