I upgraded and now if I have several pages open and I try to close one it asks “close all tabs?” The reponse is either yes, close all tabs, or cancel. There is no “NO, ONLY CLOSE ONE FUCKING TAB.”
How can I get this to stop asking if I want all tabs closed???
How are you trying to close the tab?
Each individual tab should have its own close box. Don’t try closing the browser, just the individual tab itself.
Oh, okay.
I was clicking the x up in the right-hand corner.
Thanks.
Wow, so rarely do we get GQ’s that can be answered so thoroughly and succintly in such a short time. Usually the answer is “It’s complicated and depends” and/or “check your jursidiction”.
Pure simplicity, I like it.
That’s exactly the problem I was just having – except that no matter what I did, it would close all the tabs. Hell with it; I just uninstalled IE 7 and went back to the previous version, which works just fine. Cute idea with the tabs, but not really necessary.
In my Firefox I move my tabs to the bottom of the browser (this seems to be an uncommon choice) and have a single close button to the right affecting just the focussed tab. I find that to be a good way to not accidentally go to click the wrong ‘close’ at a thoughtless moment.
IE7 does not currently give me similar choices. As usual.
I don’t use the tab close button at all, I just middle-click the tab itself with my mouse, which in Firefox closes the tab. Does IE7 do anything similarly?
Hey, a computer question even I can answer… Yes middle clicking on a tab closes just that tab. I have noticed that IE7 is a little slower that IE6,and don’t get me started on the new media player, WMP 11.
