    Close the current tab
    To close the current tab, You Can Do it with Ctrl + F4 (or Ctrl + W, easier access) (not unlike Alt + F4, which closes the whole window). Note that if there is only one tab in the page, it will not be closed.

    I have this option via the extension TabMixPlus.it gives me the choice between a close button on each tab and / or a single button at the end of the tab bar that closes the active tab.

    For your information keyboard Shortcut are
    • Close the active tab: Ctrl + W
    • Move from one tab to another: Ctrl + TAB
    • Close all tabs Ctrl + Q

    By default, Mozilla Firefox displays a close button on each tab. Since it is always displayed, it takes a significant place if you have many tabs open. In addition, you may never use it because you know other tricks to close a tab:
    Ctrl + W / Apple + W (Mac)
    The "middle-click on the tab.

    Fortunately, the developers of Mozilla Firefox have implemented a fairly useful setting in about: config: The "browser.tabs.closeButtons".
    It can take 4 different values, depending on the setting you want:

    • 0 - Display a close button only on active tab.
    • 1 - Display a close button on all tabs (default).
    • 2 - Do no close button.
    • 3 - Display a close button at the end of the tab bar. (My choice)


    To change this option, follow the help.
    1. Open a new tab in Firefox. (Ctrl + T / Apple + T)
    2. In the address bar, type about: config
    3. If Firefox asks you to answer that "yes, you care".
    4. In the search field, type "browser.tabs.closeButtons".
    5. do a right click on the line "browser.tabs.closeButtons" click edit.
    6. Enter the value you want, and click OK.
    7. Close the tab.
