How do I just close one tab when I have 3 open

If I have more than one tab open, I want to close only one but when I try to close the one I don't want a message comes up to say it will close all the tabs I have open. How do I just close the one I don't want

How did you close the tabs previously?
If you use the close X on the title bar then you close the window with all tabs. 
You need to use the close X on the tab. 
You can also middle-click the tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close the tab.

How do you close only one window (not tab) when you have two open?

I can close a tab when I have multiple ones open but if I have two windows open and I close one window it closes all other windows. How can I close just one window without shutting down any other windows?

Yes, when I click on the red X it closes both windows. I'll try the Ctrl+w
Thanks

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 have no Close Tab entry in my File. This results in closing all of firefox. How can I just close a tab?

Since I downloaded your new 4 ---- I am unable to close one Tab while keeping another one open. The reason this occurs is that in the File window there is no Close Tab indicator. Therefor I close all of the Browser.

Simple. To close a tab, you may either:
* use the x icon at the end of the tab, or
* middle-click the tab.

How to close just one tab when there are 2 or more tabs open

I am always offered to close 2 tabs when 2 are open how please do i close just the latest tab

Is that when you are closing a window and/or Firefox?
To close the active tab you can use "Ctrl+W" or the tab context menu.
Firefox offers within the tab context menu by default "close tab", and "close other tabs".
To close the active tab use the close tab button at the far right of the tabs strip,
if you are set up that way, or the "x" on any tab that displays an "x".
With an extension you have more choices such as closing selected tabs, or double-clicking on a tab.

I would like to close one tab at a time rather than all tabs at once. How do I change this? Right now i am given only one choice "close"

I have installed Mazilla firefox. Since then I am having to close all open tabs at once, thereby having to start over at the website. I would like to have the option to close one or all tabs when I elect to close.

Hello,
To close all tabs only close Firefox, do this by clicking on the '''X '''at the top right of the window, to close one tab just click on the '''x''' at the tab.

I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.

When trying to close one tab, i get the message "you are about to close 2 tabs" this is not what I want. I only want to close one tab at a time in English

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.

When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
(I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

I can no longer close one tab at a time from the file tab. It is no longer an option

The file tab used to have an option to close one tab at a time. It is no longer available in file. If i close using the "X" it closes all of the tabs out.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825). 
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.

Stop Firefox from starting a new tab when a new window opens?

This might be answered, but I cannot find a solution. I will give a scenario for my issue.
I am on the UPS website and click a button to print a shipping label. This opens a new FireFox window, BUT... the new window defaults to a generic tab that ALWAYS opens in circumstances like this. It does NOT open to the tab with my label. The print menu opens, but I cannot switch to the tab with my shipping label. No right click to print either. So I have to go to another browser. Absolutely annoying.
So how can I STOP Firefox from starting this generic tab when a FireFox window opens? BTW, the tab has a search bar at the top and several boxes that I can click on for Facebook, Instagram, etc. Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application support required." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works

Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application required" then it suggests uninstalling and reinstalling which i've done a few times but nothing works

When you say you have tried everything, it would help if you told us what you have tried to avoid duplication.
When you installed iTunes did you get any error messages?
Anyway, on the face of it it may be worth trying a separate install of Apple application support.
Uninstall iTunes again. Now open Apple Software update, assuming it is working.
It should offer to download iTunes. Don't do it yet, go to the Tools menu and select Download only.
Then download iTunes. Then go to the tools menu again and select Open download folder and you should see a collection of six files.
Before going on, can you get to this stage OK?
One further thing I would like you to check, are you ahving any problems with Windows updates? Could you check in Windows Update to see if there are any failures.

I close firefox and when I try to open it later, a pop-up says it is still running and I have to restart my pc?

I close firefox and when I try to open it later, a pop-up says it is still running and I have to restart my pc? tried closing Firefox down but Task manager says it is NOT running even though the window that pops up says it is still running??

When you go to task manager, go to the "processes" tab, right click on "firefox.exe," and select "end process tree." In the picture I've attached, I'm using windows 8, so the UI is a little different, but I hope it points you in the right direction.
