How to ristrict to one tab or close safari tabs?

Hi,
I posted this at mac OS side accidently, nobody seemed to have an answer so I am trying this section too.
I have a case where I am setting up ipads to senior users (70+ years old).
They have set of links on their homepage, and rest has been cleaned out of their sight to keep it simple.
They cant really do gestures, even double-tabbing home is hard, all they want to do is read some newspapers and visit the sites they have the links to.
The problem is that when they open a link, browse the site / newspaper, press home to access the links again -> repeat -> there will be tons of tabs open, which causes problems and confusion.
And even if they close the whole ipad (power down, not just sleep), when it is powered on again, the tabs and even open apps are there???
Oh and the small x on tabs is way too small for them to use...
Is there really no way to restrict the safari to use just one tab? (open each link to same window?)
Is there an alternative browser or app that can do this?
Can this ipad "resume" function be disabled, so that shutdown is really a shutdown, and does not save states?
(the sleep function is nice to have, but shutdown should really close everything...)
Is there somekind of app that you can place on home screen to "reset state" so that everything is like it was shutdown?
(close apps and so-on, but keep the user data and settings)
Could easily pay some $ for a viable solution...

Hi again,
The first ideas do not seem to solve my issue (thanks anyways), but the favorites bar is worth looking in to, as it seems that this way, only one tab would be required to visit the pages they want.
Just hope that the favorite links are not too small, I will get back to you later on.
And thanks!
I just dont get it why changing this kinds of usability settings (have and option for bit larger icons and texts, little more browser options available etc.) is not possbile..
The price of tablets is not that high any more, so these small things would really help apple to target even greater market segment (children, elderly, motorically / visually impaired etc.).
Nowdays it seems that everyone focuses on high resolution, making everything smaller and at times, less user friendly just to gain better visual look...

How can I have one thing open in Safari on my MacBook Pro and search for another thing in Safari without closing out of the other? For instance, How can I leave Pandora playing while I search Facebook?

With Safari open use the Command + T keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
Or, Command + N to open a new window.

it's a column/checkbox for Bookmarks Bar folders when in the Show all Bookmarks view.

I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.

How do I just close one tab when I have 3 open

If I have more than one tab open, I want to close only one but when I try to close the one I don't want a message comes up to say it will close all the tabs I have open. How do I just close the one I don't want

How did you close the tabs previously?
If you use the close X on the title bar then you close the window with all tabs.<br />
You need to use the close X on the tab.<br />
You can also middle-click the tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close the tab.

How to have a close tab button when you have only one tab ?

I'm using FF 24.0 on Win 7 enterprise x64.
I would like to have an option to have a close tab button ("x") when you have only one tab.
Is this possible ? How ?
If not how to submit a feature request ? I did it 10+ times with feedback but didn't see any change.
Thanks

Thanks again for the "close button" addon advice. I tried it but no luck, the close button doesn't appear on tabs but in the toolbar (which I do not display).
So the problem remains for me.

How can I only close one tab, not two or more tabs at a time?

I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to my email or original page, but I only get the message that I will close all tabs. I would like to be able to close one tab, and go back to the previous tab that I have open, not have to go back and sign in to my email when it should still be open. This works with Internet Explorer, why can it not work with Firefox?

The dialog Firefox displays when you click the "close window" (X) button doesn't have the option to only close the current tab. Instead, you can use one of these methods to close just the current tab:
* Click the "x" that should appear on the current tab itself
* Right-click the current tab > Close tab
* Press Ctrl+w to close the current tab
(Note: If you accidentally press Ctrl+w twice, you can re-open the tab by pressing Ctrl+Shift+t to Undo Close Tab)

I would like to close one tab at a time rather than all tabs at once. How do I change this? Right now i am given only one choice "close"

I have installed Mazilla firefox. Since then I am having to close all open tabs at once, thereby having to start over at the website. I would like to have the option to close one or all tabs when I elect to close.

Hello,
To close all tabs only close Firefox, do this by clicking on the '''X '''at the top right of the window, to close one tab just click on the '''x''' at the tab.

With more than one tab open in private browsing, how do I leave private browsing all at once?

Before the latest Firefox update I was able to close a private browsing session by selecting the STOP menu item and checking the appropriate selection in a pop up dialogue box. Now, when I have more than one tab open in private browsing, I can't end the session by selecting STOP. The dialogue box opens and offers a START option instead of a STOP option. The same is true using CONTROL+SHIFT+P. To work around the situation I need to close all but one tab and then stop the session. I want to go back to the way it was before the update and opt out of a private session entirely, regardless of how many windows or table are open, with the former two-step process.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

When trying to close one tab, i get the message "you are about to close 2 tabs" this is not what I want. I only want to close one tab at a time in English

ONLY 8 people have this problem?
Look, virtually all Mozilla's potential users are coming from Internet Exploder, which gets this ALMOST RIGHT, while FireF*x does it totally wrong. Including in webmail: there's no way I could have got to this forum without leaving 4 windows active or closing everything, including closing my mail without logging out.
ONLY 8 PEOPLE? How many thousand simply throw up their hands & uninstall yr f- nurdware over this one single issue? Not to bore you with details, but I'm hardly unsympathetic to open sources that don't look like the best argument for Micros**t and Google hegemony.
Btw, I said they get it -almost- right... It would be really nice if IE or >somebody< offered a checkbox to NEVER close multiple tabs. Look, if this bug disguised as a feature is useful to a few nurds by all means keep it as an advanced option, but PLEASE set up FireFox so it at least defaults to the real world.

After reverting to Firefox 3.6 I have lost the ability to close a webpage (down to an empty tab) when I have only one tab open. Where did the little "x" go on the single tab???

I like to be able to close the webpage I am viewing when I am finished, when there is only one tab open, so that Firefox is empty when I next want to browse the web. After upgrading to 5.0 and finding I hated it, I downgraded back to 3.6 and now the little "x" on the single tab is gone. It still appears when I have multiple tabs open, but not when there is just one. What happened? How do I get it back?

Thank you, but I already have "always show tabs bar" set.
Also, I have two computers and the other is running the exact same version of Firefox, and the exact same theme, but it does not have this problem.
To make sure I'm being clear: there is an "x" on each tab that allows me to close it when I have multiple tabs open. When I have only one tab open, there is no "x"; so in order to close the webpage I have to open another empty tab, and then close the first. My other computer has the "x" to close the tab visible even when there is only one tab so that I can close the page and have an empty (marked "(untitled)" tab). Please help!

FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location bar and hit '''''Enter'''''.
''Accept the warning.''
'''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab'''
double-click to toggle to '''false''' and then restart Firefox.
Now if you close the last tab the window (or Firefox) won't close, but a New Tab will be there.

Bug - If more then one tab is open and you try to swap tabs or close a tab Firefox closes completely sometimes. This happens on a desktop and 2 laptops I own.

The first time I reported this was Jul 12. The link back did not work. Since Jul 12 I have been on my daughters desktop, my girlfriends desktop, my laptop and desktop and they will all do the same thing periodically. When more than one tab is open and you try to swap or close a tab Firefox closes completely.
When I re-open Firefox I never get an error message to report back to Firefox support. Most of the time I get the "This is embarrassing" message and the restore tabs works.
I should have been reported by other people. Please respond, I will check my email a few times a day, Thank you

(previous message was https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/849469
you are supposed to update that message for more help, likely no one has an answer).
If it were the last tab not multiple tabs then it would have been:
If you only had one tab open and id not always show the tab strip, that you would close the tab bar.
Tools > Options > Tabs > [x] Always show the tab bar
Make sure you have that option on, it is easy to restore a tab if you still have the tab bar you or something closes two tabs as you say. To restore last tab use Ctrl+Shift+T , if two tabs restore that tab as well with same shortcut. Rather than fishing around for it in the History menu as a closed tab, closed window, or a previous session.
Another possibility is that if there is one extension that mixed up the options like "Close Tab by Double Click" there are probably other extensions that did that as well. If you had that you might have to use the much larger "Tab Clicking Options" and turn off everything but closing a tab on double-click.

How do you position tags in a spreadsheet? Can I eSign more than one tab in a spreadsheet?

How do you position tags in a spreadsheet? Can I eSign more than one tab in a spreadsheet?

Using text tags

but spreadsheets are quite difficult to predict as they don't typically have a page size defined. If you can do this in Word it'll be easier.
or convert to pdf before uploading to EchoSign.
You an upload a spreadsheet with multiple tab and place tags on each tab and all will get converted.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)
