How to close instance of Firefox launched via File/New Window without killing all Firefox instances?

Prior to the latest Firefox update, running on Ubuntu if it makes a difference, I was able to select Close from the File menu (and if memory serves also by clicking the x on the last tab) to exit an instance of Firefox opened via File New Window.
With the 9.x update this no longer seems to be possible. If I choose file quite from an instance that was launched via New Window all Firefox instances go away!
This is annoying as I have to leave any instances that were launched.
I tried the Close Last Tab add on, and it lets me close the content of the last tab but still leaves the instance running with a blank tab.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I have missed to restore the previous mode of operation for exiting additional instances of Firefox without killing all of them?
Thanks,
Burt

Each window should have its own Close button (big X in the right hand corner.)
But this is dependent on the "Theme" you are using in Ubuntu. This big X chould be a Round Dot when you hover over the color changes. It could be on the Left site instead of the right.
This [http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/screen-shot-2012-01-11-at-15.52.36.jpg Screenshot] Shows the Close button the Left Side, still an X though.
CTRL+SHIFT+W will close the Active window.
CTRL+W will close the Active Tab.

  • How do i sync my i phone to a new computer without losing all of my pictures, set up, apps, etc...?

    How do i sync my i phone to a new computer without losing my set up, apps, pictures etc...?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks

  • How can I sync my iPhone 5 with a new PC without losing all my data and settings?

  • My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me.  I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
    My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it.  The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
    I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive.  I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
    As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes.  I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
    As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern.  It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store.  I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
    I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
    Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I sync my ipod touch with my new computer without wiping all the music

    My laptop was stolen and now when I try to sync my music it wants to wipe my ipod touch 5th generation. How do I get around this ?

    There are quite a few third party apps that will copy media from the ipod to the computer. Try searching the cnet downloads site or other reputable sites.
    Good luck!

  • Original Computer I started syncing my iphone to has crashed. How do I go about syncing up with my new computer without losing all of my stuff. Everytime I have tried it tells me it needs to erase my iphone and replace it with the current library.

    The original computer that I began syncing my iphone to has crashed and I now have a new computer.  I need to know if anyone can help me? How do I sync my phone to the new computer and tell it that it's now going to be my primary computer instead of the old one? There has to be a way, viruses effect computers all the time and they crash so I know I can't be the only one.
    Than you

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.

  • How do I use my iPhone 4s with a new computer without losing all my data?

    Basically long story short my laptop just died, I can't get it past the start up screen and have subsequently lost all my music, files and iTunes Libary - and yes I know it's dumb of me not have a back up and I will not be making that mistake again - I have purchased a new laptop running windows 8 however as my iPhone is synced with my old laptop it will not allow me to sync with the new one without losing all of my data. Now I manually managed everything bar my apps on my old laptop but when I check to manually manage eveerything on the new laptop I obviously get the error message I will lose data when it syncs to the new laptop and I don't know what to do.
    I've lost all my music before and when I don't have my old files to back up what I lose I'm at a loss... can anyone help?
    If I click to manually manage will I just lose my apps as this was the onlyu thing synced with my old laptop? I can cope losing these....

  • How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

    In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed.  This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
    These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
    To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
    Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
    Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
    It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request.  If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.

  • How do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all the apps on the ipad

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.
    This is the original thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527201#11527201
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.

  • How to open WD- Adobe form open in new window -without Portal header

    Hi,
    In my WD application -MAINVIEW , I made 2 different groups under ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER
    GROUP1 -Selection fields with search button - with ROW LAYOUT
    GROUP2 -INTERACTIVE FORM - with FLOW Layout
    Basically when we click the Search button I get the form in the same view underneath GROUP1.
    I am calling this WD application in Portal by giving the hyperlink via BSP application.So when they run the WD application now With portal headers it is still becomming heightwise small area.
    Is there a way with which we can open form in completely new window  without the Portal Headers?
    Rgds
    Vara

    yes.. you can launch the form from a selection screen into a new window...
    I am using this to launch an editable PDF from a selection screen into a new window. This code is placed on the event handler of my Create button on the selection screen.
      DATA: str TYPE string,
            l_window1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_manager,
            l_cmp_api TYPE REF TO if_wd_component,
            result TYPE REF TO if_wd_window,
            lt_parms TYPE TIHTTPNVP,
            ls_parms like LINE OF lt_parms.
      ls_parms-name  = 'OPERATION'.
      ls_parms-value = 'C'.
      APPEND ls_parms to lt_parms.
      CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
        EXPORTING
          application_name = 'your_wd_application_here'
          in_parameters = lt_parms               " <- any URL parameters you need to send
        IMPORTING
          out_absolute_url     = str.
      l_cmp_api = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
      l_window1 = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
      result = l_window1->create_external_window(
        URL = STR ).
      result->open( ) .
    You have to be aware, though, that you will lose ALL your context data b/c you are opening a new user session. That's why I had to use url parameters to pass data to my form.
