How to close tabs that will not close?

After being on several sites I am unable to close tabs that I am done with. Started a couple weeks ago.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Remove damaged app that will not close?

    printer Pro desktop will not close, can't delete because it's open. Cannot open because it's damaged. How do I remove ir?

    I am going to assume you are referring to an iMac running OS X because this is the iMac forum. There are three methods to remove apps.
    1. Use the developers recommended method, i.e. contac the developer and request their adive.
    2. Use a third party app such as AppCleaner (Google it).
    3. Drag the app to the trash.

  • My ipad2 will not connect to my wifi and now i have a download that will not close or allow me to use other apps or shut the ipad off what can I do?

    I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi.  Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off.  What should I do?

    Hi,
    For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
    In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA.  For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems.  Let me know if this helps.
    Cheers.

  • How to repair applications that will not start

    I have programs that will not start on my iMac . I have never had one issue since purchased . Do I need to reinstall lion to resolve my issues?
    Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Check with this compatability table, check with the specs of the program, watch for the "for 10.5+" that doens't mean it will work for 10.6 or 10.7.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Use the developers uninstaller if possible, if not consult on their site etc., what is the manual uninstall methods.
    Some programs have to use a uninstaller.
    Sometimes you can simply drag and drop the program from the Applicaitons folder to the trash and that will be that, others have other bits in the System/Library/Extension folder (dangerous!) that can be removed by hand IF you know what to look for.
    Usually a program will have it's name or other id info in their files, one can use Easy Find to locate all these named files. However don't go deleting without backing up your data off the machine.
    delete the wrong file and your Mac will refuse to boot up
    I don't advise "app undelete" programs, they tend to make people think that the app undelete program knows the right files to undelete and it doesn't, it just does a simple name search.
    Good Luck

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox to any website, or open a new tab, I get a blank tab that will not redirect to a website entered in the URL bar. Help?

    I am on an HP pavilion running Windows7, and for the past couple of days, whenever I try to open the FireFox browser, or a new tab, all I get is a blank screen. The URL bar is empty, and gives the prompt: type an address. When I try to type in the address, and hit either the enter button, or the go button on the browser, I get a spinning circle, and then no response.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How to debug software that will not install

    I had EMC Retrospect Express installed and working. But it stopped working. The program refused to start. So I tried uninstalling it manually by deleting all of its files. I used find in / to search for all things with ems, dantz, and retrospect and deleted them.
    But the app refuses to reinstall. An icon briefly appears on the tray and disappears. I see nothing in the log files. What is happening? How can I get this app to reinstall?

    No more help from me.
    R'E' was too complicated for poor half vast, see below. I have moved to SuperDuper.

  • Application will not close. I need help

    I have an application on my Mac that will not close. No windows of the app are visible, and when I try to open a new window, nothing happens. If I secondary click then click quit, nothing happens. I want to update my software to 10.7.1, but I can't because the application will not close, therefore the computer will not restart. How can I delete or uninstall this application while it is open?

    Have you gone to the apple menu and tried force quit?

    Hi Eren,
    Thank you for your response. I do not have the function call that calls the Message Popup in a loop. Nor do I have the function call to the Message Popup in a loop. I do, however call the calling function from a panel callback under "EVENT_GOT_FOCUS". Will that cause the same issue as if I had put the call in a loop?

  • Quiting a safari site that will not quit

    We opened an email that had a web site that will not close without going into it further.

    One possible thing to try:
    Force-quit Safari (hold option key while click-holding on Safari dock icon).
    Then relaunch Safari from the dock while holding down the shift key.

  • When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK.

    This just started. When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs are going:-( This happens every time now. I know how to get my old tabs back but every time I close Firefox it always warns me that I am closing multiple tabs.
    Tanks for helping me get me Firefox working correctly again

    Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
