How to close all tabs XP/FF6

How do I close all tabs without existing FF6? I can close every tab except the final tab that is opened.

Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
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. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How to close locked tab without closing firefox

When firefox freezes how do I close offending tab without closing firefox

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 or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
*If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
*Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

How to close a tab in aurora?

i am unable to close a tab

There's been some recent UI changes to tab management. The current way to close a tab is to swipe it off the screen. There are plans to add a context-menu accessible via long-tap on a tab to invoke a menu with a close-tab option. Some of this UI might change in the near future as it's a topic on-going in their respective bugs.

How to Hide a Tab in a jTabbedPane

Hello, I am trying to toggle the Visibility of a tab in a jTabbedPane... I have tried every permutation of these that I could think of:
myTab1.Visible(False);
myTab1.Hide();
myTab1.updateUI();
myTabControl.doLayout();
myTabControl.updateUI();
myTabControl.repaint();
myTabControl.Layout();What am i missing?
Please help.

Its not complicated
Object myTabls[]=new Object[tabbedPane.getTabCount()];
this will create an array.
now
for (int a=0;a<tabbedPane.getTabCount();a++)
myTabs[a]=tabbedPane.getComponentAt(a);
with an array of Components and their placement (index)
you can do what you want.
I think Java Merlin (1.4) has a setVisible for a tab, and my guess is that they have implemented that this way.
You can do it either way.

How to close a tab(s) in Safari 5 (10.8)

My friend just updated to 10.8 and she noticed that there is no more X to close tabs now. I have not installed 10.8 yet because I always wait untile 10.x.1 to come out to fix most glitches.
I did some research and came across this: "Anyone who has a nasty habit of having too many tabs open will love Safari's new Tab View. Pinch to zoom out and you'll see all of your tabs laid out horizontally; swipe with two fingers to move from one to the next, and click on the one you want to open or click on the X to close it. We'd like to see Apple add a two-finger swipe up to close tabs in this view."
But there is no way in **** Apple went and did that. And even right clicking on the tab and selecting close is illogical..
So where is the X to simply close a tab now.
Thanks for the info guys.
Screenshot enclosed:

ya I'm aware of the shortcut keys. Been using a mac since they came out. She is used to interaction with the mouse, hence the specific question as to where the X has gone.

How to close all tabs in Firefox?

I know I can use a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+W) but I would like to assign that shortcut functionality to a form button.
Is that possible?
Thank you.

Are you clicking on the X on the Title bar? as this closes the window and not the tab that was open in window.
With a mouse that has a scroll wheel you can use the scroll wheel (middle-click) on the tab to close it. There is a X on right side of the tabs depending on how many are open that you can use to close it also.

How to close a tab?

Hi,
I am displaying a tabs on click of commandImageLink in the center panel. For this I have used PanelTabbed and inside that I have included 3 ShowDetailItems. I have changed the TabRemoval property of PanelTabbed to All and visibility false for the showDetailItems. On click of commandImageLink I am making the ShowDetailItem visible as a tab in the center. But how can I close tab on click of cross sign(Close Tab) or hide its visibilty?

How to change the tab of a jTabbedPane when action performed

The scenario is like this : I have a jTabbedPane with 2 tabs. I want, when an action is performed in one tab (for example a button is clicked on tab1) to change the tab automatically (to make tab2 visible). How can i do this?
Thank you in advance

I've read JTabbedPane API before i post the message, but unfortunately i couldn't find a solution to my problem. I tried to use the methods grabFocus and requestFocus to change the focus of the application, but it didn't work.
Thank you for replying Nether.

How to make individual tabs on a JTabbedPane, a different colour?

Hi,
Is there a way to set the background colour to INDIVIDUAL tabs on a tabbed pane so that I can have a nice range of colours across my tabs?
DLawton.

hey D,
I've got two ideas for you:
1. Swing has implementable L&F (skins) for all components. You could create one for you JTabbedPane as a subclass from some existing UI L&F
2. you can always do this in your paint method. Might be tough though

How to insure selected tabs are visible in JTabbedPane

Hello all,
How can you insure that the selected tab in a JTabbedPane is visible.
Here is the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class TabbedPaneTest extends JTabbedPane implements Runnable
public TabbedPaneTest()
super(JTabbedPane.TOP, JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT);
} // end TabbedPaneTest constructor
public void run ()
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i ++)
try
this.addTab(Integer.toString(i), createDefaultPanel (i));
this.getModel().setSelectedIndex(i - 1);
Thread.sleep(3000);
} // end try block
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
} // end catch block
} // end for loop
} // end run method
private JPanel createDefaultPanel (int index)
JPanel defaultPanel = new JPanel ();
defaultPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder(), Integer.toString(index)));
return defaultPanel;
} // end createDefaultPanel method
public static void main (String args [])
JFrame frame = new JFrame ();
TabbedPaneTest tpt = new TabbedPaneTest ();
frame.getContentPane().add(tpt);
frame.setSize(200, 200);
Thread newThread = new Thread (tpt);
newThread.start();
frame.setVisible(true);
} // end main method
} // end TabbedPaneTest class
I've crated a JTabbedPane with the tabLayoutPolicy set to JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT.
If I add enough tabs the scroll buttons appear but the newly adde tab is hidden behind them,
even though I have set the selection index to the added tab. The content of the panel associated
with the tab is visible but the tab itself is hidden.
So the selected tab is hidden behind the scroll buttons.
Any one know how to insure that if a tab is selected it is visible to the user.
Thanks

This is an interesting question so I tried it out. After some poking around to see how Swing does this for mouse clicking (try setting things up so that a tab is only partially visible and then click on the visable part - notice how the whole tab is scrolled into view) I found this: /**
 * This inner class is marked "public" due to a compiler bug.
 * This class should be treated as a "protected" inner class.
 * Instantiate it only within subclasses of BasicTabbedPaneUI.
 public class TabSelectionHandler implements ChangeListener {
 public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
 JTabbedPane tabPane = (JTabbedPane)e.getSource();
 tabPane.revalidate();
 tabPane.repaint();
 if (tabPane.getTabLayoutPolicy() == JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT) {
 int index = tabPane.getSelectedIndex();
 if (index < rects.length && index != -1) {
 tabScroller.tabPanel.scrollRectToVisible(rects[index]);
 }Which is called when the selected tab changes. The member theScroller is a private inner class that handles the scrolling tabs. The call to scrollRectToVisible is executed for each of your new tabs. Sometimes when I stopped in the debugger and then continued things worked and your new tab scrolled into view.
So I tried putting your code into a Runnable class and invoked it later: final int newIndex = i;
 SwingUtilities.invokeLater (new Runnable () {
 public void run () {
 addTab(Integer.toString(newIndex), createDefaultPanel (newIndex));
 getModel().setSelectedIndex(newIndex - 1);
 });But that did not work. That is as far as I got so far and I have to stop now. Perhaps this can inspire someone else to a solution.

PS. I first tried Rammensee's solution and it did not work.
Rammensee, you said you hoped you had it right - perhaps you are close.

Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
Thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

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.
