My question is why does firefox close when I click another window off? I have a new window come up so I have two, but when I click one off it closes all of them.

Question

I usually have more than one tabs up and ready when I'm searching the web. But when I look at my mail or when a new window is opened if I click the "X" all of my windows are closed. What could be the problem?

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
