Confirmation from Safari when you close a window on Mavericks

Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to have like a little warning from Safari when we quit a window on this application. For example: Are you sure you want to quit this window?". Firefox has this application when you close a window with several tabs.
I looked in the preferences, but i haven't found it. I know this kind of warning was present on the elder versions of Safari, so why not now?
Hope you can help,
Tim
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) and the Safari 7.0.2

Actually, you're right. After a little investigation, it was the way I was using the gui that was making this happen. During debuging (using Netbeans) I would open the dialog window then click on netbeans to check the console for a couple System.out.println()'s I put in the code. Then on closing the Dialog window Netbeans would be the next window selected by the OS and would appear over the original JFrame. D'oh! Just sillyness on my part imagining problems for myself.
I guess what I was looking for was that when I close the dialog window that the OS would focus to the parent JFrame instead of the previously viewed application.
Thanks!

Flash quits when you close the window

Why does Flash CS5 quit when you close the window you were working in? It has to restart every time you close and open a file.

This doesn't seem to be a crashing issue. The program seems to be designed like Windows, wherein the application quits when you close the last open window. This is incredibly annoying and completely unacceptable.

Quickie - Stopping JFrames from minimizing when you close a dialog?

Hi,
As the subject bar suggests, there is probably a very quick solution to this:
When I close dialogs that I have open, the parent JFrame minimizes to the taskbar. Its a bit annoying having to click on the taskbar to maximize it again. Is there a way of stopping this from happening? Thanks.

I can't re-enable the save and quit option when i close a window

When you close a window, there appears a window containing the options: Save and close, close without saving and cancel, and a box that says do not ask again. Well, a friend checked this last option by accident and now every time I close when I open again I see the same pages where I was before closing. My question is: Is there any way to re-enable the option to exit without saving?

In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press Enter . The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! , to continue to the about:config page.
Search for the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', and double-click on it which should set the value to '''true'''

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

HT201412 In Safari, when I have several windows open, currently there are 9, I can't close them. I try pushing on the x to close the window, but nothing happens. Help

In Safari, when there are several windows open, I cant close the open windows. I push on the x but they dont close.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then launch Safari and try again.

How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari. I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images. Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future. Jumpscare.
aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time. This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

Get rid of message: "If you close the window, your changes will be lost..."

Whenever I enter text, then close the window, I get the message, "if you close the window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close the window anyway?"
Yes, I do want to close the window, and I want to get rid of this message from popping up. Can't find it anywhere in Safari. Please help me out. Please, how do you configure Safari so this message will not pop up?

HI David,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still see that dialog...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Mac 10.7, when I close firefox window and later open firefox window it opens with blank page in English

After closing a window with sidebar bookmarks open and later returning to firefox I have to open a new window and re-add my sidebar bookmarks

Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
Hopefully this will help.

I have my FireFox browser set to delete the history when I close the window. It was working for a while and has recently just stopped with no changes to the settings.

I have my FireFox browser set to delete all the history when I close the window. It was working for a very long time and has recently stopped with no changes to the settings. This has happened once before and I deleted FireFox and re-downloaded it, that solved the problem for a short period of time but the issue has come up again. How can I fix this?

Can you check your configuration again? Maybe something went pear-shaped somewhere. It's located in Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the Settings button (see screenshot).

When i close the window if press pressed next to the closure and returned again press not work

Please expand upon your question with more detail. You can also post in your native language if English is a difficulty.

You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

Disconected from Safari when going to Youtube

I have been being disconnected from Safari when i try to log into youtube and a few other websites. I have sent error reports to apple via. the automated responce thingy and i never get a responce. Can you help me please resolve this issue Thankyou much

It's not you--youtube must have added/changed something on their site that Safari 1.3.2 cannot handle. Many people have noticed the change.
I found that Camino (freeware) still works fine with youtube under 10.3.9. It is a Mac-only version of FireFox and there are very few sites it cannot handle. 10.3.9 will handle the latest versions of Camino and FireFox (although I find Camino faster).
No sense reporting any Safari 1.3.2 problems--I doubt there will be any further development since the current version is 3.
