My tabs will not close. eaven when I close and reopen it.
Closed out waterfox opened it back up numerous times still opens previous tabs
I have unmarked the solution as you appear to have problems still.
Make sure if you keep both browsers that you use a different Firefox profile for each browser.
See
*[[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As an aside you may be interested to know Official Mozilla Firefox 64bit for Windows is getting closer and should have a limited Release later this year, maybe even within the next couple of months.

The first tab will not close, and often does not load all of a page.
When I open firefox, the first tab always has 'search bookmarks and history' in the address bar, instead of the url of my homepage, and it will not close.
While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.

First tab will not close and address bar in tab does not update.
The first tab and its address bar are not working as expected. I am unable to close the first tab using the close icon on the tab or by selecting close tab from right click menu.
I also find that the address bar when displaying the first tab does not display the current web address, only text that has been previously written into the address bar field.While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab.

I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. It tells me to close all open applications. However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed. Any suggestions?
Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

Tabs will not close when hitting the "X" in the tab.
Several times a day I will notice that when I close a tab that the tab remains open, but turns into an "(Untitled)" tab, which will not close. I then have to restart my Firefox browser. This has only occurred after the installation of your new version, 3.6.6.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== immediatly after installating the most recent Firefox version 3.6.6hi refer to

The addons window will not close, and comes up with firefox
I recently re-installed java, and when i opened firefox the add-ons window opened with it. the Add-ons window will not close without closing firefox, and turning the pc off, using ctr+alt+del wont work. any assistant will be greatly appreciated
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

Tabs will not close no matter what, even in safe mode.
For less than a day now I have not been able to close any of my tabs. Clicking the X besides them, right clicking them and selecting close, and CTRL + W will not work. The problem persists even in safe mode.

FF 28.0a1....I can open tabs in Win XP and close them with no problems.
In Win 7 I can open tabs but cannot close them until i shut down FF completely.
I have completely uninstalled FF28.0a1 and reinstalled it into a new folder with a new profile. Still the same problem exists.No this is NOT an older version of FF.
It is the very latest Nightly version (Ver 28.0a1)
It works fine in Win XP.
Only in Win 7 am I having the Tab problem.

Mail 6.3 will not close and won't open an interactive window
A day or so ago I tried deleting about 4 messages off mail and then shut the app. A note came up and stated the messages could not be sent to the delete folder and then proceeded to close the window but the application remained as opened. I tried to quit the app from the dock but it wouldn't close it. I then tried shutting the system down and mail stopped it from closing. I have a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and tried to let the battery drain to let shut down that way to no avail. I've tried opening another window in Mail but it won't open a functional window (preview screen will not display highlighted message). How do I force a close or bring mail back to use it properly?

Close other tabs option freezes computer then tabs will not close at all
When I have multiple tabs open and I click the close other tabs button The computer freezes for about 1 minute and when it is unfrozen all the tabs are still there and when you click to close them nothing happens. This is a daily happening and extremely annoying. Sometimes it happens after i have had the browser open for a while and other times it will do it as soon as i open it.
Hey, these are the instructions on how to try safe mode. Please post back with your results.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
The tab will not close.
Each time it is pushed, another tab opens.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page in a new tab and temporarily disable JavaScript by toggling the javascript.enabled to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.
That should allow to close the tab.
Toggle the javascript.enabled pref to true once done.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Notification Center open and will not close and......
My desktop that I installed Win 10 Tech Preview on one day had the Notification Center open down at the bottom right and when clicked on it show "otifications" no new notifications .... my antivirus Software McAfee LifeSafe no longer will work
and when I do a search for anything.. all the letters and words are either jumbled or missing letters as in the "otification" center.Since Windows 10 Technical Preview is just a "beta" version, there are certain amount of compatibility issues when it comes to 3rd party programs.
Heck, we can't even play DVD in Windows Media Player, and Windows Media Player is a MS product.
Avast, as I understand it, is not compatible either.
Perhaps McAfee is facing the same issue. You might want to ask the people in McAfee support forum about the compatibility matter.
I have a laptop running Win 10 build 9860 as the only OS in the system.
I am using the build-in Windows Defender as "real time" protection, and Malwarebytes (free edition) as "on demand" protection. So far, I have no security issue.
As to letters and text garbled or missing, you need update KB3008956
installed.
Go to your Windows Update > click Check for updates >find and install that update. -
Bridge will not close and I cannot uninstall it
I have re-installed CS5 and Bridge from my CD after a new Hard Drive fitting but now when I try to install my plug-ins I get message 'Please close Bridge.exe. before continuing but it is not open. I am running Windows 7.
I have tried uninstalling it from the 'Uninstall Programmes' list but it does not show up there, so I tried to uninstall CS5 but get the same message. I am sure that on my previous hard drive Bridge was listed as a separate programme but not now.
Can anyone help please?
Bridge works normally when I am using CS5.Are you sure Bridge is not running in the background? Open Task Manager and have a look.
(If you specidfied to start Bridge at logon it won't stop running when you close the program) -
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I did not back up my IPhone4 - stupid on my part. It just quit the other day. It is in a coma. I have tried recharging and rebooting to no avail. My greatest concern are several pictures that I cannot replace. Is their an internal sim card that perhaps could be recovered. I need to return the phone to Verizon as they mailed me a replacement due to the fact that no one at the local Verizon store could awaken the phone. Please help if you have ANY suggestions! Of course, i will backup everything in the future - just hoping for a chance with these pics and contacts.
I ceaned the fan, the computer shuts down when I hit ENTER after logging in (again, i have a password set)
