How do I close a website without closing all the other sites I have open?

Often I have multiple website windows open while I go through my e-mails and go to articles. When I click on the red circle to close that window, a message says I am about to close how ever many windows I have open. How do I just close the one window without closing all the others? Thanks.

Hi dsluther,

When you have several websites open at once, we call these "tabs".

You should see all of your tabs lined up near the top of the Firefox window, between the back/forward buttons and the web page itself. To close a single tab, you just need to click the 'X' icon on the tab itself, instead of the red 'X' icon in FIrefox's title bar.

This article has some more information on what tabs are, how they work, and how to manage and close them: Use tabs to organize lots of websites in a single window

I hope it's helpful.
