Ctrl-F4 closes two tabs, not one
Ctrl-F4 closes two tabs, not one. Ctrl-W is working fine. This is possibly due to a plugin / extension, as I have updated them / installed new themes recently.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

FF always closes two tabs when I only want ONE closed!
Every time I want to close a single tab, Firefox states 'you are about to close two tabs'. I DO NOT WANT to close two, only one! Is there any way to set this? it is very irritating.
Thank you.
Also, below my question here I am about to post, you have my installed plug-ins listed. WHY are some of them underlined in red??That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How do I close all tabs at one time without closing Firefox completely?
How do I close all tabs at one time without closing Firefox completely?
Open a new window. Go to the other window with all the tab. Close it. You now only have that newly open window.

I have google toolbar installed on my Firefox 4, whenever I start firefox two tabs open, one is my homepage gmail and the other is "google toolbar updated".

With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?
I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site? -
The title pretty much sums it up. Also, I know it's not my mouse.

When I have several tabs open, I often make the mistake of hitting the X (close FireFox) button instead of closing the specific tab I am finished with. I used to get a dialogue box telling me that I had 3 tabs open and did I really want to close all 3 -- which I rarely did - so it was a saver for me. Unfortunately the dialogue box also included a 'don't ask me this again' -- and so now I don't get the dialogue box and end a lot of FFX sessions when I was just closing the tab. Can you tell me how to get that dialogue box (safety net) back? Many thanks
You can set the warn prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to <b>true</b> via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

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 />

Hello everybody,
I emailed Verizon last Thursday with a question (which I will talk about in a second). After writing the email and filling out all the fields (since I was not going to be able to really check email over the weekend), I clicked the "send" button. Now ususally when you do this with any other business, you will see some kind of "message sent" screen, and possibly would get confirmation email sent to you just letting you know your message was sent. Oddly enough for a company this big, they don't do either of those.
So I come back and find that, even after 4 days, I have not recieved a reply to my question. So I sent another email early yesterday (sometime in the afternoon), and still no response to either emails. So I'm wondering if my emails are just floating around in verizons email servers, or if they were even sent? (PS: Provide some verification for your email questions please)
My question was about my upgrade status. My NE2 discount is on 10/25, but I was wondering if I could upgrade to a new phone for the 2-yr price early, as in this week early. My old phone (OG Droid) is starting to crap out. Freezing constantly during calls, while opening apps, and just at random. And the battery lasts about half of what it did when I first got it. Essentially it just isn't working the way it should. This is also after cleaning my phone up.
TL;DR:
Emailed Verizon twice with no response. OG droid crapping out, need to upgrade early for the 2-year price.Pigbearman wrote:

First off - "No, stupid, it's manbearpig"
OK, sorry. I've never ever gotten a reply when using that email thing. I think it's just there to make customers feel better. I don't know. Your best bet is to go into a store and ask them if you can upgrade early. It's really a hit or miss, as you'll see on these forums. Some reps will let you, others will fight until the day they die saying they don't have that authority (they do) They're more likely to do so in-store, because you're already there looking, and they can make a sure sale right then and there. Just be warned, though, that you may not be able to. Bring your broken phone in and show them exactly what's wrong with it and they'll be more swayed. -
After updating to Firefox 5.0.1 and trying to open Firefox, it opens two tabs. One is the restore session tab and the other is the Firefox home tab. Nothing opens in the session restore tab and once the Firefox home tab loads the browser screen freezes with no crash ID's listed. The only way to get out is thru the task manager and ending the process. Firefox worked fine before updating.
Hi glivezey,
Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps! -
The first time I reported this was Jul 12. The link back did not work. Since Jul 12 I have been on my daughters desktop, my girlfriends desktop, my laptop and desktop and they will all do the same thing periodically. When more than one tab is open and you try to swap or close a tab Firefox closes completely.
When I re-open Firefox I never get an error message to report back to Firefox support. Most of the time I get the "This is embarrassing" message and the restore tabs works.
I should have been reported by other people. Please respond, I will check my email a few times a day, Thank you(previous message was https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/849469
you are supposed to update that message for more help, likely no one has an answer).
If it were the last tab not multiple tabs then it would have been:
If you only had one tab open and id not always show the tab strip, that you would close the tab bar.
Tools > Options > Tabs > [x] Always show the tab bar
Make sure you have that option on, it is easy to restore a tab if you still have the tab bar you or something closes two tabs as you say. To restore last tab use Ctrl+Shift+T , if two tabs restore that tab as well with same shortcut. Rather than fishing around for it in the History menu as a closed tab, closed window, or a previous session.
Another possibility is that if there is one extension that mixed up the options like "Close Tab by Double Click" there are probably other extensions that did that as well. If you had that you might have to use the much larger "Tab Clicking Options" and turn off everything but closing a tab on double-click.

Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.
Hello jesterabk, '''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.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* 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"''
'''''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. -

How can I only close one tab, not two or more tabs at a time?
I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to my email or original page, but I only get the message that I will close all tabs. I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to the previous tab that I have open, not have to go back and sign in to my email when it should still be open. This works with Internet Explorer, why can it not work with Firefox?
The dialog Firefox displays when you click the "close window" (X) button doesn't have the option to only close the current tab. Instead, you can use one of these methods to close just the current tab:
* Click the "x" that should appear on the current tab itself
* Right-click the current tab > Close tab
* Press Ctrl+w to close the current tab
(Note: If you accidentally press Ctrl+w twice, you can re-open the tab by pressing Ctrl+Shift+t to Undo Close Tab) -
I only want to close one tab at a time
ONLY 8 people have this problem?
Look, virtually all Mozilla's potential users are coming from Internet Exploder, which gets this ALMOST RIGHT, while FireF*x does it totally wrong. Including in webmail: there's no way I could have got to this forum without leaving 4 windows active or closing everything, including closing my mail without logging out.
ONLY 8 PEOPLE? How many thousand simply throw up their hands & uninstall yr f- nurdware over this one single issue? Not to bore you with details, but I'm hardly unsympathetic to open sources that don't look like the best argument for Micros**t and Google hegemony.
Btw, I said they get it -almost- right... It would be really nice if IE or >somebody< offered a checkbox to NEVER close multiple tabs. Look, if this bug disguised as a feature is useful to a few nurds by all means keep it as an advanced option, but PLEASE set up FireFox so it at least defaults to the real world.
