If I go to a linked site I get the above notice and cannot close just the one tab. The CPF closes, too, when I close the linked site. What must I change in my settings?
Using IE7? You don't use the little X in the right hand upper corner. To close the tab you want you click on the tab and a little X will appear on the Tab you're currently veiwing click it to close the tab you're currently viewing.
What exactly do you do? In theory, you can right-click on a tab and select Close Tab. I'm not entirely clear on whether you're familiar with tabbed browsing. If you're not, then you might be expecting a link to open in a new window, and it's just opening in a new tab in the same window.
I've always been able to close a tab at a time by clicking on the "X" or right clicking at the bottom of the screen and selecting "close". In the past I used IE but for the last two years FireFox has been my browser. Just upped to FF2 and now can't close any link while on CPF without also closing the CPF connection.
Are you using 1.5 or 2.0? I know in 1.5 it is on the far right on the tab bar and under the search engine. If anything, click the tab and use the shortcut ctrl-w. I love short cuts, but yeah its different from the top right X or alt-f4.
mine just recenyly started donig the same thing and it really p!sses me off and by the way i am using firefox to do you think itts the system or what i really dont know crap about computers so please help.
