Crashes on Tab Switch, Tab Close, or Quit

I've been working with STP for a few months at my school and I really like it, but recently I'm having a real pain of a problem with some of my STMP files.
Whenever I open multiple tabs, whether double-clicking on an audio file in the multitrack editor or just opening a new tab, if I try to close the new tab or switch to another tab or even if I try to quit the program, I get the beachball of death. It doesn't matter what I do in the new tab...in fact, even if I do nothing at all to it, just open then try to close, it crashes. I have to force quit every time and it's very frustrating.
I've tried deleting (app, prefs, any file labeled with STP in its name) and reinstalling, repairing disk permissions, but nothing works. Again, this doesn't happen with all my STMP files, but a lot of them have this problem. Can anyone offer some advice on this?

Hi Arklop,
Hmm I'm not seeing this.
Just to check, are you definitely running the Universal Binary version of Soundtrack Pro? Also, how much memory do you have?
Where is the app crashing? Why don't you post the crashlog on this forum--maybe someone on the forum will have an idea what's going on.
What audio device are you using? Do you get the same results if you just use the built-in audio interface?

Though I updated my preferences, Firefox 4.0.1 doesn't warn me about closing tabs before I quit, and closes all tabs after I quit.

I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday. I updated my preferences, including checking the box that commands Firefox to "warn me when closing multiple tabs." Despite this, Firefox does not warn me and closes all tabs at quit. In short, I lose all my tabs whenever I quit Firefox. Please advise.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
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. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Whenever I open new tabs Firefox crashes and the browser window closes automatically.what will I do?

I am facing this problem since a month.I never faced this problem before.I always feel good to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.I used to open multiple tabs in a same browser window.For example- in a tab I logged in to Facebook,at same time I might be downloading songs or something else or open another site in the other tab.It might be 2 or 3 tabs sometimes.But now a days,I am facing the problem whenever I open multiple tabs.Its unusual and so much annoying.The Firefox crashes and the browser window closes showing a messege to send an error report.Please Help me.
N.B. - I am using the Windows service pack 2.
RAM - 2 GB
Hard disk MEmory - 250 GB.

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

I would like my tabs to be saved when I close (not quit) my browser on my mac.

How can I automatically save my tabs when I close (not quit) firefox on my mac? When I close it (by pressing the red x on the top left of my browser, or by doing cmd+w, and reopen it, I don't have my tabs. There is no restore button when my browser opens. It does not automatically restore my old tabs (I've set it to that setting in my preferences "when my browser starts"). I cannot restore my old session through History either (I can by opening closed windows or tabs, I think, but the restore button doesn't work - in any case, I don't want to have to do this. I want it to be automatic). However, if I quit (emphasis) firefox then everything is restored just fine. But how can I do this when I close it!? I don't want to be able to loose all of my information by accidentally closing my browser.

If you keep the Firefox application running and still have the menu bar showing then only Recently Closed Windows/Tabs can bring back tabs from your current session (you didn't end close the session yet).
You would need a session manager extension to handle such a situation.

Since upgrading to 4.0 and now 5.0 tabs do not have tab close buttons and I must use CNTL-W to close open tabs, what's the problem?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 the close tab button, usually in the upper right corner of the tab has been missing. I have just recently upgraded automatically to 5.0 and the tab close 'X' button is still missing from all open tabs. The only way to close a tab is to click on it and use CNTL-W to close out the tab.

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

My new tab closes or replaces an active open tab

when i open my firefox , i have it set to yahoo.com. my pc at home has no problem, but my work pc is giving me trouble.
i open a tab to read and before it loads i click back to original tab. when i do this one of two things happen.
1) my original tab closes
2)) when i click on my original tab the new tab closes
i have checked the setting but still have problem
what can i do?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just 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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Safari 5.1.2 Tab Close Button on Different Sides in Windows

I'm not sure if this is unique to my computer(s), but I've noticed that the tab close button is on different sides in the Mac & Windows versions of Safari. On my Mac, the close button is on the Left-Hand side with the tab text centered on the tab. On my Windows, the close button is on the Right-hand side with the tab text justified to the left.
Why the difference in UI? I do quite a bit of browsing on both computers and I find that I'm constantly having to try to remember where I am to determine where the stupid close button is.
I've looked around in both the Mac & Windows versions and I can't find an option that specifies where the button is show and whether the text is justified or not.

OK, here's what I'm talking about. This is a screen capture of a tab from the Macintosh version of Safari:
Notice how the "X" to close the tab is on the left-hand side and the text of the tab is centered on the width of the tab.
Here is a screenshot of the Windows version of Safari:
You can see how the tab is much smaller for one, but also how the text is justified to the left with the "X" to close the tab appearing on the right side of the tab instead of the left.
I don't really prefer one over the other (ie. left or right side), I just wondered if there's some setting to make them act the same way on both so that I don't have to constantly remember what OS I'm on in order to remember where the darn "X" is to close the tab.

Firefox 30.0 - Used to open PDF file in a new tab when clicked a link. Now new tab opens, does not show file, tab closes. How do I fix it?

I am using Firefox 30.0. I open a page that has links on it to see some PDF files. When I click on the link, Firefox use to open a new tab and display the PDF file. Now a new tab is opened, nothing gets displayed, and the new tab closes. What setting do I need to change in order to see the PDF file.

Firefox Menu > Settings > Application
*Search for "PDF" > Change the Action to "Preview in Firefox"

I would like to have only 1 Tab close at a time instead of 2 each time when I have multiple links in use.

I have gone to about:config to browser.tabs.close buttons. They allow digits of 0 thru 3. I have tried all the numbers.
0 shuts down 3 or more tabs at once, and 1,2, 3 all close two tabs at a time.
How do I change back to 1 tab being closed at a time?

hello, the preference you have mentioned doesn't control how many tabs are closed at one time - it should always be only one tab at a time when you click on the close button. if this isn't working as intended, you could try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once. if it is not happening there, maybe an addon is interfering ...
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
otherwise it might be a problem with your hardware - test it with a different mouse.

Why is a tab closes without warning?

I returned to firefox from Chrome, thinking it may have improved but I have been experiencing a problem with tabs which is very annoying, particularly when I have found the info I require.
I click on the + to open a new tab.
I use the slide on the side of the page to go down the page to read the page.
Suddenly the tab closes and returns to the previous page!!!
I am using Windows 7.

If using * any * addons or plugins, restart Firefox (Fx) in safe mode. When safe mode dialog starts, Don't select to permanently disable addons (don't click anything, just continue).
If not familiar w/ safe mode, search for easy steps - using Ixquick or Startpage engines: mozillazine + firefox + safe mode.
If problem stops, follow instructions in a Mozillazine KB article on troubleshooting, using safe mode, then how to troubleshoot addon problems.
If it isn't an addon issue, ** BACK UP ** your old profile, then (& only then) create a new profile & try that. Don't delete the old one - you may need it.

Firefox tabs close when I click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. Using latest version for MacOSX. How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things.

Firefox tabs close when I simply click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. I am using the latest version for MacOSX but this happened a couple days ago with an older version of Firefox as well. Is this some kind of bug? How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things like clearing/reinstalling etc. This does not help.

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

Tab closes with no error msg when I click on "Allow". Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. I had to uncheck the Advance/General/Accessibility option for it to work. Why?

Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. When I click on "Allow", The 2nd tab closes with no error msg This was Home Depot redirecting to CitiGroup.
When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.

Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
Thanks again mha007

Want single tab close x - how can this be set up?

In versions after 30.0 the tab close x appears in every open tab. I want a single tab close x located at the right end of the tab toolbar. The about:config code to set the value = 3 no longer is accepted. What is the new way to create a single tab close x ??

Killing the close x in each tab is only part of the solution. The rest of the solution would involve reinstating what used to be about:config where the browser tab close value = 3, which put the single close x under the app close red x on the right hand side of the window at the right end of the tab toolbar. I'll stick with version 30.0 where this was last supported until such time as the code is restored, or I'll find another browser.

Middle click on a tab closes all tabs.

Ok I just installed Firefox 4 final release, fresh and whenever I middle click on a tab, all the tabs close immediately. If I turn on the message box asking me to "close all tabs?" the box pops up when I middle click on it. I had this same problem on RC1 and RC2, even with tab-mix plus installed I couldn't control the behaviour of middle click on a tab. I have tried this on RC1 and RC2 clean install and with tab mix plus but whatever I do firefox tries to close all the other tabs when I middle click on one.
I have Firefox running on a XP system but I havent faced any issue on that. The system that has problems is the one with Windows 7 and I may have to mention this, Logitech's Set point software to configure the different buttons on the wireless mouse. I have check the configuration in the software and Middle Click is set to Middle click. This configuration was working fine on the same system when I was running firefox 3.6.* and started when I upgraded to FF4.

I use a laptop wit Win 7 and only meet this problem if the FF is in full screen mode, and because of it the tabs are in the header - in line with the Firefox button. If I change to windowed mode the tabs goes on row lower and middle click works as it should.
I use the software "SecondShell" to remap the caps lock into middle button - if I "click" with it the FF works fine, just the mouse cause the problem.

New Private Tab closes suddenly

Without an error the open New Private Tab closes.

OOPs please ignore I posted in the wrong response. It is possible that the tab is just in the other list of tabs. Swipe down and look for the orange line under the private browsing icon. If you swipe to the left is the tab still there?
