How do I "permanently" close a tab (i.e., so it doesn't open again when I re-open Firefox)?

I've pinned tabs (move mouse over the tab, right click, select "Pin as App Tab"), but the original tabs open when I re-open Firefox (Ff), e.g., I had Facebook open in a tab... I pinned it as an App Tab... the tab's size reduces to roughly a squarely and moves to the left with the other pinned tabs... when I subsequently re-open Ff, after having logged off the network, the pinned Facebook tab is there (that's good), but so is the previous "regular" Facebook tab (that's annoying). These "redundant" tabs exist for G+, Facebook, iCloud, and another site.
This situation has led to my question. Thx, -Greg.

First, the version of Firefox you are running is very old and out dated, with many known security holes. I strongly urge that you update to Firefox 11 to make sure you not only have the fastest Firefox, but also the most secure.
Now, as for your question, you want to have your app tabs, but not any other tabs when you start Firefox, correct? If you click on Tools, then Options, what is selected for "When Firefox Starts"? Is it "show my Windows and Tabs from last time"? If so, you should be able to set it to just show your home page, set your home page to something you would like, and then, if your app tabs are open, be good to go.

How do I Permanently remove a tab that is called "new tab" but is a Blank Page?

Every time I turn my computer on, I click my Firefox icon in taskbar at bottom, BUT, not only does my homepage tab show up, but lately I have been seeing another tab showing up beside it called "New Tab" but it is Blank. I don't how it all of a sudden showed up, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I right click & "close tab", but I have to do this every time I turn on my computer. Isn't there a way to Permanently Remove this Tab so it doesn't keep showing up on my Tab Bar?

Unfortunately that was empty too. The Firefox upgrade at that time seemed to wipe an awful lot of stuff. After searching, re-installing etc, whatever was suggested, I gave up. It was a while back. I will remember your suggestions if it ever (hopefully not) happens again though. I did have a very old bookmarks backup, but that would not import, so I did use bits of it manually but it had saved as a massive merged line of sites without my folders, so was a bit too much to fiddle with. The loss of the classical music sites was what I regretted most, no idea what they were called and cannot find some of them now. Ah well, no point in fretting about it now I suppose.

How do I permanently set the zoom-function, so I will not have to zoom every time I open a new tab/page?

I have recently installed Firefox on my one month old laptop which has a 17" screen. Every time I open Firefox I have to use the zoom-function (ctr +) four times to be able to read comfortably. Every time when I next open a website, or tab, or window I have to use the zoom-function again. This is kind of getting old, fast.
Is there any way I can set the zoom to a higher/closer setting permanently, so I do not have to use the zoom-function about 50 times everytime I use the internet?
If you could help me that would be lovely!
Thanks,
Kikki

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

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 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)

How do I not close 2 tabs at once.

I want to thank ZZXC ? for his help when I was talking to him. My laptop battery died before I could do so. Unfortunately his suggestion CTRL W did not work.

You can middle-click a Tab to close that tab. 
If a plugin has focus then shortcut keys will not work and you need to click elsewhere first.
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.

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 do I enable 'close all tabs' warning in Safari 5.1/Lion OS?

Before upgrading to Lion OS, there was a warning asking to confirm close all tabs. Now the warning is gone and I would like it back. There is no setting in Preferences, Tabs to enable this warning. Thank you.

Well, the plist key is ConfirmClosingMultiplePages in com.apple.Safari.plist. Unfortunately, it is set to <true/> just like in 10.6 and it doesn't work. It could be a bug, but given that is removed from the UI, they might have just dropped this feature and the key in the plist is just a leftover from 5.0.
I've filed bug rdar://9844047 on it, we'll see if it gets closed. I guess I just need to get out of the habit of using CMD-SHIFT-W. Of course, the other thing I used it for was as a confirmation before quitting Safari in case I accidentally hit CMD-Q instead of CMD-W. Although that isn't really the intended use case, that is what I miss the most (Reopen All Windows $ucks when you have a lot of them).
(Really, I can't use the word s-u-c-k-s?)

How can I re-set new tab homepages? A website has made itself appear every time I open a new tab.

My new tabs keep startying up with imesh, a website I don't want and haven't made a homepage. Firefox options don't show this is in your tab start-up system. How can I get rid of it?

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Incompatible/Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Incompatible/Unwanted/Suspicious Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

How do I get back the tab feature that has my most used webpages because when I open a new tab now, the page is blank. thanks. Annette craker

After an update a few weeks ago, the tab feature that used to come up with boxes with my most used pages e.g. Facebook, Ebay, and many others just isn't there anymore. I can't find how to get this feature back. Please help.

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

Saving tabs upon shutting down Firefox so they will open again when Firefox gets launched

On the previous version of Firefox, the possibility existed to save the tabs you were using so that they could open up automatically next time you started up Firefox.
This feature is great & i suppose it still exists, but it seems i can't find it (or maybe i have conflicting parameters). Could you help me please ?
