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.

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 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 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 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?

IOS 8 - How to Close All Open Tabs in Safari?

ioS 8 - Is there a way to close all open tabs in Safari on the iPhone? The workaround in iOS 7 was to hit the "Private" button and then click "Close All Tabs," but that no longer works with the revised private browsing method. Clicking each tab to close multiple tabs is burdensome if there are a lot open.

Yes, this is VERY painful after a few days of using Safari: Having to close one window at a time. Ugh.

No, you can only close each tab by tapping the X to close.

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).
