How can I close the current tab in Firefox v 17.0.1?

I have used Firefox for years and have always used Tabs instead of opening new windows. I have always been able to click the little "X" on the right side of the tab to close it. I am finding now that I cannot close the current tab by doing this. I have to click on another open tab and then click on the other tab I wanted to close.
I have looked through the Options many times trying to see if there is a setting I need to change, but have not found anything.
Is it possible in this version of Firefox (v17.0.1) to close the current tab?

I started Firefox in SAFE MODE and the problem went away. I checked for updates and all were up to date. I then restarted Firefox and it worked fine. Since I didn't really do anything, I am curious as to why it is now working as expected. I am glad, but still curious.
Thank you.

  • Is there any way to close just the "current tab" in firefox rather than all 3 or 4 that may be open and lose the entire web page?

    If I am on a website and open a few different pages, and then decide to go back to an earlier page, or close that particular page, I get a message that says you are about to close 3 tabs or 4 tabs etc. If I only want to close the "current tab" I am on, I was able to do that with Internet Explorer. Is there any way this can be done on Firefox?

    For more help, see the '''[[Tabbed browsing]]''' page.

  • How can I specify the default tab in a CHM Output?

    My company uses CHM-based help for some of its products. We build the CHM files from RoboHelp 9, and while these CHM files don't really have a full Index attached to them, the Index tab shows up in the output anyway. Unfortunately, we are suddenly seeing that when the CHM file is launched from our program, the Index tab is displayed by default. We'd rather have the Contents tab be the default look, especially considering that the Index does not exist.
    I have poked around into how you can specify a default tab for a CHM file, and the only information I have found suggests that using a CHM file creates a file (HH.dat) that specifies which tab should be displayed on a user-by-user basis, and that the last tab displayed when you close the CHM should be the first one displayed when you re-open it. While this is true if you open the CHM independent from the product, when you launch it from our program, it's all Index, all the time.
    So, my question is: How can I specify the default tab for a CHM file? Or, failing that, how can I excise the Index tab from my CHM output.

    Hi there
    This will be something up to your application developer to resolve. When s/he issues the call to open the CHM, there are parameters that may be used to always open with the desired tab "in front".
    Point your developer to the link below and advise that s/he is most likely interested in the section titled: Programming Tips.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

    Running a script from the shell by prepending

  • How can I return the current Date in Java?

    I am new to Java, and basically I want to know how I can return the current date as a variable, so for example, I have declared the following date variable
    private java.util.Date currentDate;How can I return the current date, do I have to write a method? To be more specific, I need to write a setMethod, that simply returns the current Date in Java.
    Please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,

    If all you want is a date for printing or displaying, the easiest way is to use Date as shown below. If you need something more complex, look at the Calendar API.
    import java.util.Date;
    class DateEx
         public static void main(String args[])
              Date now = new Date();
              System.out.println(now);          
    }

  • How can i Close the PO by changing the Qty to 6000 from 5.443,206???????

    Hi All,
    User wants the  PO with 240bags= 6000 Kg but the value is like this  240bags x 22.68kg  = 5.443,200 Kg(this is picking from material master in Alternate units of measure 100bags =2268)
    *As of now the PO status is:
    Ordered Qty: 240bags
    Delivery : 264.550 (User changed the Qty from 240 to 264.550 bags in delivery)
    PGI Qty: 264.550
    GR: 240 bags
    IR: not completed
    The fact is that they purchased 6000kg and they were able to add into the system just 5.443,206, and They need to add the rest into the PO:  556,794 kg (we have them in the warehouse)
    How can we do this?
    In order to close this PO they want to add remaining Qty
    i have tried to change the alternate unit of measure in the material master from 100bags=2268Kg to100bags=2500kg but this is not reflecting in the PO
    if i am trying to create a new PO the new AOU(to100bags=2500Kg ) is reflecting
    Please let me know how can i Close the PO by changing the Qty to 6000 from 5.443,206???????

    Hi,
    As per your posting i under stood the question like this.
    PO has been created for 240 bags which is 5.443,200 Kg ( As per the material master calculation).But user wants 6000kg.
    Delivery has been done for 264.550 bags at 100bags =2268 kg.Means 264.550*22.68 = 5999.94 almost 6000kg.
    And since PO is for 5,443,200 KG , GR has been made against this qty.
    At this stage please remove the new conversion change for the material since every transaction has been made against the PO it will not reflect.Also if there exists any transaction in pipe line will get effct due to this.
    Just change the PO qty to 264.550 bags and receive the GR for the remaining qty which is 24.55 bags .Sytem will allow this change.Also no need of additional Delivery or PGI. since already the PGI has been for 264.55 bags.
    Other wise if you want change the conversion factor for the material , please reverse the GR done and cancel the PGI at VL09 and delete the delivery and make the PO afresh and change the qty as per the 6000kg requirement and repeat the process.
    Please reply the result.

    Hi,
    I had posted a similar query few days back to place excel file in text frame. And I found out that, it is not possible to specify formatting option for any of microsoft document when using Indesign SDK.
    But we can do this by running script.
    If you are able to specify the formatting option through script, write code to get script object & execute this script through Indesign SDK.
    I was able to specify formatting option, sheet number, range etc through this.
    Hope this helps.
