Why can I not close a tab which has a popup.

Some website have anoying prompts "Do you relay want to leave this page" and you have click yes or no which might excecute some code, or kill the whole browser. Incase one stumbles upon such site's say navigating from a search result, one should be able to close the tab, or have some way of overiding the prompt without having to click on any of its choices if one does not trust the website for security reasons.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why can I not open new tabs?

    I can not open a new tab no matter what I do. The only time a new tab will open is if I click a link that takes me to a different site & then a new tab will open, but I can not open another one just by clicking on it or using the menu from it.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why can't I close App Tabs with STRG+W, like mentioned in "What are App Tabs?"

    This way, I can't close the Browser with the shortcut.

    You can have things the old way, and even if you don't choose to restore your tabs the next time Firefox starts you can still restore your through your history as John99 mentioned, should you change your mind after restarting Firefox.
    See item #31 in the following
    '''Restoring tabs from a lost session''' is now done after restarting through the '''History menu''' ("Alt+S") with "'''Restore previous session'''".
    '''You can still have the old messages''', to make sure you get your tabs restored immediately, but with or without the messages and whichever way you respond to the message you can still get back your previous session through the History menu.

  • Why can't I close my tabs?

    I now have 12 tabs open because I can't close any of them without closing the whole window! I have never had this problem before, but now when I click on the 'x' on the tab nothing happens. Same with when I right click on the tab and select 'close tab.'

    if you want to save my tabs when you close the application then
    change the value of '''browser.showQuitWarning''' to '''true'''.

  • Why can I not play certain songs which I have just downloaded?

    I recently download 10 new songs and only 3 of them work and play out load whereas the other 7 do not .If you tap them they only skip to the ones working.my new songs also do not appear on my laptop (not an apple product). Some of the non working songs have faded out the song title and artist.

    Hi, drhalm. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like your music is not stored locally on the device and accessing your purchases in the cloud.  There is a new feature in iOS 7 that shows all purchased music and requires and Internet connect to play this content.  You can download any missing media via the steps in the first article below.  If the media is located in your iTunes music library, you can sync the media from your Mac to your iPhone.  If unfamiliar with the process, I have included the steps in the second article below.

  • HT1918 Why can i not now update apps which I have already paid for because my credit card was declined?

    My credit card was rejected but now I can't even use the apps I have already paid for. *** iTunes! I can't delete the card and use another payment method can't do anything. Is there a way around this? Or just another case of apple rear ending us hard?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you have a credit card on your account then it will need to be valid. If you don't have a card to replace it with then have you tried removing it from your account ? On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

  • Why can I not open a webside which I trust

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/890758]]</blockquote>
    Ik kon tot verleden week de webside gamesquare gewoon openen en inloggen om een spel te spelen, vanaf vorige week zaterdag werkt het niet meer. ook niet via google chrome en microsooft internet explorer. Vandaag een ander webside spelpunt.nl geprobeerd, het zelfde gebeurt. Na het inloggen wordt de verbinding met internet direct verbroken
    Op mijn vaste PC kan ik wel op gamesquare spelen, maar ik wil dit juist op mijn laptop omdat ik veel onderweg ben
    hoe kan ik dit terug herstellen

    The version error messages are really screwed up and out of sync with the new naming (CC) system. CS8.1 would be CC2014 version 10.1

  • Why can I not open a attachment that has the suffix .mpe?

    A friend and I both received an email with an attachment that has the suffix .mpe.  When I try to open it I get a message that Quicktime can not open the file- that it is in a format that Quicktime doesn't understand.  I wrote both the friend and the sender and they say their machines open the attachment.  If I drag the attachment to my desktop and change the suffix to .mpeg I can open the file.
    I don't know if it is relevant, but they are both using mountain lion and I am using snow leopard.
    Is there a logical explanation for my inability to open the .mpe attachment?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I am hesitant to believe that the reason they can open the file and I can't is because they are running mountain lion and I am not.  It would seem to me that Quicktime is Quicktime no matter which operating system one is using, or...?
    Incorrect. It's not so much the system itself, but rather the QT structure embedded in the OS together with the different player apps. They are probably running QT X v10.2 (603.6) while you are likely using QT X v10.0 (131) and there have been some major changes between the two during the interim. E.g., try playing "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content to see the difference in audio support between OS v10.6.8/QT X v10.0 and OS v10.8.2/QT X v10.2. Another major change was the disabling of legacy codecs—they're probably still enabled on your system but disabled by default on their systems unless they re-enabled them. To say the least, QT is constantly changing and that is why so many people are here trying to find out why something works or doesn't work in one instance but is totally backwards following a certain OS upgrade or app/security update.

  • 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)

  • Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Not a lot of details here, but my guess is this isn't working for you because you are wiring in the task to the Active Channels Property and not the actual Channel Name. I have attatched a screenshot of what I believe you are trying to do. The Task has 2 channels in it, so I need to index off one of the channels and wire it into the active channels input of the Channel Property node. Then I can read information about that channel
