I cannot close the left most tab

When I try to close the left most tab or the default tab at start-up, it won't close, even when I have other tabs opened.

Why can't I see the left most tab in a window with FF6?

My problem is that when I upgraded to FF6 and started firefox in some windows the left most tab is hidden, what do I need to do to be able to see all of my tabs? I did not have this problem with FF4 only the last version of FF5 and FF6. I reverted back to FF4 and was reluctant to upgrade because of this issue. I can get to the tab by going to tab group but I see this as an unnecessary step. perhaps you should stop having lunch with your microsoft neighbors.

I think you would have had the same problem in 3.6. Anyway the tabs do not narrow down instead they scroll off the left side or off of the right side and you can only show 5 or 6 tabs depending on how wide you have your window.
The following three styles will help you to work with tabs, the first one will help with your specific problem. Be sure tho read the write-up because you will need some configuration changes as well. The one with the tab borders will need an extension from the MozillaZine site.

Any way to move the Radio tab (Itunes Radio) right? Because it's the left-most tab, it loads first..forcing me to click on songs every time itunes loads. I'll never use ITunes Radio. The screen will forever be trying to sell me on using it. Its free, I know. Still not using it.

Awesome post. This is the best description I've seen of what continually makes me angry about Apple. I guess their attitude is, "Whoa, look at all this money! If it ain't broke, why fix it?" And Margthecar the I keep shoveling money into their coffers ....

I CANNOT CLOSE THE FIRST TAB WHEN I SEARCH FOR SOMETHING AND CLOSE A SECOND TAB IT WILL NOT LET ME CLOSE THE FIRST TAB

I CANNOT CLOSE THE FIRST TAB AFTER I TYPE IN A SEARCH
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I UPGRADED TO 3.6

I have the same problem and tested it in Safe Mode, and did the disable the add-ons thing. Everything went OK, even up to the last add-on. There wasn't a hint of the problem anymore, so I went back to regular use of FF (3.6.12) again. WELL, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN!!! I agree with the person who said that your supposed troubleshooting is B.S. You blame the user instead of saying something useful like "OK, we heard you (and over two dozen others) and we know it's not your doing, and it's OUR PROBLEM, and we're going to look into it and figure out how to fix it, AND we'll get back to you when we do and tell you how to fix it too." THAT's the kind of answer we FF users want to hear, not some claptrap about how WE the users didn't try hard enough to fix it on our own!

How to create a title over the top of the left-most column in a cross-tab.

This is one of those things that seems simple until you try it.
I'm almost there. I moved the cross-tab from the report header to the report footer so I can have a page title. I tried using an overlay but it didn't work for any page past the first.
I can't seem to figure out how to put a title over the left-most column though.
Thanks in advance,
J

I have used a text box, after you type in the text, select the box, and move it to the front.
then select the crosstab and move it to the back.

I successfully deleted a user from my MacBook through the Users and Groups window in System Preferences. But now I cannot close the lock in the bottom left corner of the box. When I click on it, I briefly see a word that I think says "reauthorizing" but the word flashes too quickly to tell for sure.

Try restarting your Mac.

How can I put the "open new tab" button back to the right of the right most tab in FF 4?

It's very annoying to have to go up to the corner to click on the open new tab button when it used to be to the right of the right most tab. I have other buttons, like print up there and have to think about which one to click. What was wrong with where it was? It worked for me. At least tell me how, or allow me to change it back. It is one thing to make a product faster but allow the users to keep things in familiar places if they want. I've liked that option on Firefox with most things. I've been a Minefield then Shiretoko user for a number of years an I think I will stick with it for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically?

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically? there is a program called POW! by AnalogX that does this, but its only good for IE. And Im a Firefox man. Can anyone look into this or maybe create a plugin that does what POW! does for IE? I will donate to the creater of a plugin that does that. Im so sick of pop ups that most pop up blockers miss.

The Firefox pop-up blocker is very effective. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups in Firefox, you may have picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now. First attempt, 5 photos came up missing. Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing. Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events". Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album? What the heck am I supposed to do with that? That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward. I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't. I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos. Weird, just weird.
Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank. I think I know why. In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events. For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind. iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events. Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous. When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos. It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over. LOL.
I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion. Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason? Can't edit geotags. Can't bulk edit meta data. These are pretty basic functions. Total fail.
I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.

Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Why does FireFox look for "Chrom..........." when I close the left (last) tag and report "can't open ....? Have i missed an option that wold send it to my hom

If I close the last (left) tab to return to my desktop, firefox tries to load google Chrome and reports to me that it can't find the server.
Apparently, I have missed an option in the help area that prevents this. Any ideas?

The firefox button used to be on the left, with tabs lined up beside it reaching the top of the screen. Now the firefox button is on its own, with tabs on the row below it. This wastes a lot of space at the top of my screen, can I put it back how it was?

Previously, the firefox button was at the top left and tabs lined up beside it, so that the top of the tabs reached right to the top of the screen. Close/minimise etc. were at top right.
Two days ago, it switched so that the firefox button is at top left, close/minimise etc. are still at top left, but now the tabs are on a row below, leaving a gap at the top where I can see through to the desktop. There is also a larger border than before round the whole firefox browser window, more wasted space.
I have the windows 7 quick links bar at the top of my desktop, now that firefox has left a gap above the tabs it means it is easier to accidentally hover over the bar when changing tabs, this is annoying as it brings it to the front and disrupts the ability to change tabs quickly.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select/unselect '''Taps on Top'''
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox closes ALL tabs & exits when I ONLY close the AOL Mail tab.

When I have maybe 5 or 6 tabs open, and I am done with my AOL mail tab and close it ONLY, the entire window with all of my pages close out. My system is set to recover the last tabs I had open, but when I reopen Firefox (I have to manually, the system does not even restart it), everything is gone. I tried opening AOL mail in another separate window, and this still happens (when I close out the AOL page only). I checked my updates and Firefox is the newest. I run both my security software programs 2 times per day, along with STOPzilla. It clears cookies and I have never had an issue until this past week. I have not downloaded anything new. All is fine as long as I do not open AOL mail. Thinking this was an AOL issue, I contacted them, and they assure me that it must be my issue (of course). I then removed and deleted the Firefox program and re-downloaded it....still no help.
I am using the latest AOL mail, and cannot help but wonder if there is something in that which causes me to lose everything. It's frustrating because none of my tabs are kept, even though I have it set to caution me before the Firefox window is closed, and remember my tabs for "next time."
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

you must modify '''Browser.tabs.closeButtons
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''browser.tabs.closeButtons'''
then '''right click on it''', select '''modify''' and put''' 1'''
click '''OK''', '''exit firefox '''and '''restart-it'''.
