Close Tab vs Stop Loading

I accidentally closed a tab when I was trying to stop a page from loading because they are both represented by X's. Can you change the "Stop Loading" symbol to a "No-sign" (⃠). This would be greatly appreciated and can prevent future confusion and frustration.

... and confuse the other 200 million users?

I recently upgraded my iPod touch 5th gen to iOS 7.1, and now whenever I open up my gamecenter, the "friends" and "games" tab never stop loading, and it also won't log in when I play games that use gamecenter. What can I do to fix this issue?

I have already tried turning the power off and back on, holding the home and power button for ten seconds and shutting it off that way, and disconnecting from the wifi. None if those fixed the problem. However, resetting all of the settings did actually fix this issue, but then when I turn the ipod off and on again the issue is back. I don't want to have to keep resetting the settings on a daily basis, so what else can I do to fix this bug? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can't do 'Undo Close Tab' anymore

Since my update to Firefox 29 (OS: Arch Linux) my 'Undo Close Tab' feature stopped working. I tried to disable all extension, with no luck. Neither the entry in the context menu nor the shortcut (cmd+shift+t) is working anymore.

Yes, I'm running 29.0.1. Also there seems to be a problem with history restoring, after disabling an extension and clicking on 'restart now' in the extensions menu, Firfox restarted in the startpage and the entry 'Restore Previous Session' was not available in the 'History' menu (greyed out). Please note that 'Undo Close Tab' does not appear greyed out, it just doesn't do anything.

I open facebook or other site. right click link/photo to open in new tab quickly. Then all tab connection will be connection to website, all page stop loading. Have to close firefox and reopen then only site will load.

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

Create button to stop loading all other tabs.

Hello. Can you create a button to stop loading all other tabs. I know you have buttons for: reload all tabs, and close all other tabs, but stopping all other tabs would be great too.
For example:
opening new tabs on eBay, they constantly load and make mozilla slower to work with. If I can stop all other tabs from loading, I can browse the main page faster and open even more tabs faster.
This button would be very useful. Consider it. =)

The OP wants to open a lot of links quickly after each other in the background, but would want to delay the actual loading until going to a specific tab. 
When you restore a previous session only at most three tabs load at the same time if restoring on demand isn't selected (active), but I don't know if you can achieve this with opening a lot of links.
Maybe one of these help:
*Absolute Load Control: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/absolute-load-control/
*Load Tabs Progressively: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/load-tabs-progressively/
*BarTab Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bartab-lite/

Why does firefox stop loading then when i close it and try to open it up again I keep getting this message: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

Firefox will just stop loading/ connecting to the internet. The gray circle will just continually move but it never turns green to load the pages. I know it's not my internet because my internet explorer works just fine while this is happening to firefox. So I close firefox and then try to re open it but I get the message: 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. So I wait a little bit then try and re open it and still get the same message. I then go into my windows task manager and try and end the firefox proccess but it won't end. So I restart my computer and firefox eventually starts acting up again.

For possible causes of this error, and how to troubleshoot it see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

How do i stop new tabs that are loading from automatically switching from current tab

how do i stop safari from loading a tab i've clicked on previously from automatically switching to it when i'm busy on another one? i want to stay on the other tab until new tab is finished loading..

sanae68,
exit Safari. In Finder, press Command-Shift-G. In the “Go to the folder” text box, enter
/Users/username/Library/Preferences
where username is your account’s user name. Scroll down to the com.apple.Safari.plist file, and drag it to your Desktop. Go into Safari again, open its Preferences to make sure that that checkbox is unchecked, and see if the tab behavior now acts accordingly. If it does, adjust Safari’s other preferences to your liking, and drag the com.apple.Safari.plist file on your Desktop to the Trash, and empty the Trash. If it doesn’t, drag the original com.apple.Safari.plist file on your Desktop back to the Preferences folder.

Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
 in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Since loading FireFox 4, I have lost the "Close tab" facility, so only have the option to exit - Is this correct?

If I follow a link from an e-mail, I can no longer just close that tab to return to my e-mails, only exit, where I have to login again.
Surely this is wrong!

Where are you looking for close Tab?
You can middle click a tab to close the tab or right click a tab. If you want to do that via the File menu then you need to use the keyboard (Alt+F) to open the File menu because some menu entries are hidden in Firefox 4 if you use the mouse.
Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing that window.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Close button on tabs have stopped appearing

When you hover over the title of a tab the close button should appear. This feature now longer works so I am having to right click the tab and then select the "close tab" option.
Any idea how I can get the close button to reappear?
Many thanks in anticipation of an answer!

Firefox will work fine, then for no reason stop loading websites.

I'll be having a great time on Firefox when out of nowhere it will stop loading websites - it won't give me an error message, it will just saying 'connecting' and spin forever. This can happen at any time and is beginning to get really frustrating - sometimes I will go an hour without it happening, sometimes 30 seconds. I'm currently typing this on Internet Explorer, whilst Firefox refuses to open a webpage in the background.
Whenever this happens, I'll have to exit Firefox. This would be fine, although reopening Firefox will then give me a 'Firefox is already running, but not responding' error, followed by the now classic 'Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded, it is missing or inaccessible.' Trying to close it with the Task Manager doesn't seem to work - even when using it with administrative privileges it will not disappear. Right-clicking and selecting 'go to Detail' and trying to close it from there just gives me an 'Access Denied' error. Earlier today, after restarting the computer, Firefox gave me this message before I had even opened it, yet other times it works fire and loads my profile perfectly.
Is there a way to deal with this problem? I've tried creating a new profile, I've tried refreshing Firefox and I've tried Uninstalling and Reinstalling. This happens with or without add-ons installed and is driving me crazy. I have used Firefox for years so have a large selection of bookmarks and passwords that I don't want to lose. Currently running this on a fairly up-to-date laptop with Windows 8 installed.

I was having this same exact problem for the last week. It started happening after Firefox updated. I tried a few different things that didn't help. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling which didn't help either. I finally fixed the problem tonight.
Here are the steps I took to fix it. Make sure you are logged into sync and hit the sync button to update it. This will save your bookmarks and user settings.
If you want to be able to restore your current session go into your main drive and click users, your user name, AppData, Roaming, Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles, open that folder and copy sessionstore-backups and save it to your desktop or somewhere you can remember.
After you have done that uninstall Firefox. Now restart your computer into Safe Mode.
Go into your main drive usually C on most computers and click users, your user name, AppData, Roaming. Click the Mozilla folder and delete it. Now hit the back button and click on Local. Find the Mozilla folder in there and delete it too.
You can now restart your computer and install a fresh copy of Firefox. Once it is installed you can log into sync and it will restore all your settings and bookmarks.
If you want to restore your previous session close Firefox and make your way back to AppData, Roaming, Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles, open the new profiles folder (Example: abcd1234.default) and paste the folder you saved called sessionstore-backups in there.
You can now open Firefox and all your tabs will be there, and after a few mins all your settings and bookmarks will be restored by sync. You shouldn't have any more problems following this method. The pages no longer stop loading and it closes like it is supposed to.

The NYT website won't stop loading whenever it does an auto-update. While this loading continues, other websites are unresponsive until I force the loading to terminate. This started happening with FF 4.0.1.

When I do a manual refresh on certain sites like NY Times or CNN, or when sites like NYT periodically push an update through, the updates won't stop loading. It's as though the update never completes. The rotating circle icon on the affected tab just continues indefinitely. While this is happening, other websites that I try to open or update are either very slow or unresponsive.
My fix has been to force the update to terminate by using the red X button next to the website name. Then other websites respond normally but often the one that I have manually stopped becomes unresponsive.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Firefox 29.0 still showing spinning wheel icon even though I stopped loading the page and the sign beside URL shows that loading has stopped. Is this a bug?

I have recently updated Firefox to 29.0. I generally keep lot of tabs pinned and whenever I open firefox I stop the unwanted pages from loading. With Firefox even after I stop loading pages, some of them still show the spinning wheel on the tab title. The spinning wheel is shown even though the sign beside the URL shows that the page stopped loading. Though there is technically no problem with this, its annoying to see so many spinning wheels for no reason.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, 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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a heavy page

firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a page with alot of pictures etc, with big size. it just keeps on loading pages with no result.
my internet is fairly low speed so i take my time but this happened each time i tried to open such sites.
even when i close that '''tab''' and try to open just '''google.com''' , it wont load.
its solved after closing and opening firefox again . but happens again if i try to open the same heavy site

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Firefox will not allow me to close tabs or drag them to a new window.

I can't close individual tabs. I -CAN- close the entire application, but I don't want that. Also, the Close Tab entry is missing from the File menu.
Is there some feature in FF that allows a site to disable turning off separate tabs? Is this an exploit that certain pages are using? Or...is this an actual bug?

Yes. I used Safe mode. The problem only occurs when I am using Facebook, apparently; some scripts loaded by Facebook seem to interfere with one or more scripts in "tabbrowser.xml".
Specifically, the error is reported to be in this line:
Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:1644
I can often stop the scripts from Facebook, and then the tabs can still close; but if I stop TabBrowser.xml, tabs will no longer close. Unfortunately, when the FB scripts crash, I usually have little choice but to close the TabBrowser.xml script.
This now happens constantly while I use Firefox on Facebook. It no longer happens unless I am using Facebook, and is apparently unrelated to whether I play Farmville.
