Every time I want to close a single tab, Firefox states 'you are about to close two tabs'. I DO NOT WANT to close two, only one! Is there any way to set this? it is very irritating. Thank you. Also, below my question here I am about to post, you have my installed plug-ins listed. WHY are some of them underlined in red??

If you want to close down Firefox use

  • Firefox Button -> [x] Exit
    that will close down firefox and all open firefox tabs and windows

If you just wish to close a single tab note that have a litle cross X at the end after the title of the tab, click that to close a single tab. Or use keyboard shortcut Ctrl + W

No idea why any of your plugins should be underlined in red.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
