How to close multiple firefox windows (not mulitple tabs)

I often have multiple internet windows open (often each window will have multiple tabs). I would like to be able to exit all the windows with just a single close of firefox. Currently, I can close each window that has multiple tabs with a single close. I would like to extend this to multiple windows (each with multiple tabs).
In Explorer, I just right click on its icon and one of the options is to "close all windows" and that's it. I would like to see that option available on firefox. Thanks

Quit Firefox provides statusbar and Toolbar buttons to quickly shut
down Firefox. It is especially useful for laptop users.

In 4.0.1, if I have multiple firefox windows open, when I try to close one window, it closes all. Why can't I close just one window at a time?

I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

How can I get Firefox to NOT use DDE? If I uncheck it in Windows XP "Folder options" it keeps getting re-checked. When checked, it takes minutes to get Firefox to open on a page linked from Outlook.

Cannot open multiple firefox windows

The problem is I cannot open multiple firefox windows at 1 time. It keeps saying that firefox is running or it just spins on the 2nd time that we press on the firefox icon every time I do this. Can you please come up with a solution. Yes we can open up multiple tabs but cannot get more than 1 session running at a time.
Is there a fix for this?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How to close a popup window for system events?

Hi,
I have a screen 110 which shows several input field in popup mode.
The Cancel button can close the screen.
But my question is how to close the popup window for the following system events?
1, Customer clicks the cross button in top-right corner
2, Customer clicks the system icon in top-left corner and then select either: "Close" or "Stop Session"
The PAI subroutine of the screen has not been triggered for the above system events.
Thanks for the coming help.
Best Regards,
David

Hi Siddharth,
I did check with another very experienced ABAP developer.
The solution was the same as what Arunima Rudra provided.
And I got a sample program which did work properly.
The headache is that the system events in my program still cannot be triggered even after I have all the same changes.
Anyway, I suggest you to try the solution as provided by Arunima Rudra.
It should work for 2 system events:
1, Customer clicks the cross button in top-right corner
2, Customer clicks the system icon in top-left corner and then select either: "Close"
For "Stop Session", it should not be handled by popup.
You can observe the same behavior in ALV sorting configuration popup.
Good luck!
Regards,
David

I want to know HOW to CLOSE Multiple Open Apps at ONCE. I keep mistakenly opening lots of things at one time.

I want to know HOW to CLOSE Multiple Open Apps at ONCE. If I have many apps going at one time and want to stop fast, surely there is a way to hit like(alt-F4 in Windows) and BAM! They all go down. I need a feature like that...

Alt+F4 in Windows only closes the active program.
Command+Q does the same thing for Mac. Just keep hitting that key combo untill all are closed.

Java plugin prevents opening of multiple Firefox windows

been having this problem intermittently. Have Java 6 update 22. Using Windows 7 Enterprise. To open multiple Firefox windows I have to disable Javascript. This works sometimes and does not at other times. But when it does not work, turning off "Enable Javascript" in options makes it work. Using Firefox 3.6.12

You are talking about two different types of code. See these KB articles.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

Which uses more resources,multiple firefox tabs or multiple firefox windows ?

which uses more computer resources, multiple firefox tabs or multiple firefox windows ?

Each window needs their own resources to create and build that window, so opening extra windows takes more memory.

Hotmail (only) now opens in a window not a tab

As of yesterday - with NO downloads or updates to anything having been made - MSN.com opens Hotmail (when I click the link from that page) in a new window, not a tab. Any link in any email, however, opens in a new tab in the original window. When I og out of Hotmail, it returns me to MSN so the process gets repeated every time I start Firefox & it loads my normal set of tabs. Why has this suddenly started? How do I fix it (return to opening Hotmail in a tab)?

Thanks for the 'scroll wheel' suggestion - that does work. However it does not answer what bugs the hell out of me as a four-decades' experienced software designer/coder who's overly cautious about downloading, installing, upgrading, etc et al - having done none of those things, WHY has this suddenly (and thus inexplicably) begun happening? I'd love to blame it on MS since they so often 'tweak' their stuff (he said overly politely), but...

How do I prevent Firefox from "cycling" the tabs?

How can I prevent Firefox from cycling the tabs?
I like my tabs where they are. I have a good memory. If a tab is at the left, I want it to stay at the left. I do not want firefox to move the activated tab around, under any circumstance. Where there's code in the Chrome to make a tab move without the user dragging it, I want an option to prevent this from ever ocurring. Movement of tabs is very disorienting. I am not talking about scrolling. I am talking about when there are 6 tabs open and the rightmost 5 keep changing places without user interaction.

You can check the home page setting.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
If you do not keep changes the you can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

How set up multiple homepages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when desired...

I would like to setup and be able to click on a Firefox profile (I assume profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and have firefox open about 6 separate windows (not tabs) set to different home pages.
If I use the Pipe Symbol in Options, it will open separate tabs but also ause the probelm below which I also would like to solve.
A lot of times I also want to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my quick launch tray and DO NOT want it to open up all of these sites again.
How is this best achieved?
In the past I just opened up each site individually in its own window.
Thanks very much
Peter

You can create multiple shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL to the command line and use the -new-window switch to specify a new window. 
You need to use the -new-window switch for each URL (-new-window URL1 -new-window URL2). 
If the command line gets to long then you need to use a CMD file to store the full command line (start "" firefox.exe -new-window etc.).
