IIUC this is the thingy that doesn't allow to close a tab. When this happens for Firefox here, I kill Firefox and then start it again. Firefox usually asks, if the last session should be restored or not, so don't restore the killed session. If Firefox shouldn't ask but automatically restore the killed session, then it usually does work, to close the tabs, before the site is loaded. After this Firefox is ok again and can be closed and opened without issues. I usually do the same for sites that ask again and again, if you want to leave the page or if you want to stay. This crap is a PITA, even "reliable" web pages sometimes ask, if you are sure, that you want to leave their website. To ask isn't bad per se, but I never noticed this question, when it makes sense and it especially doesn't make sense to ask this questions 20 times, before you can leave. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
