When the site opens screen A sometimes has user open screen B. When user finishes screen B and desires to return to screen A, the x in the upper right corner is chosen, a message appears you are about to close 2 screens however user only wants screen B to close. I cannot find a way to close only screen B. How do I close only screen B?

Hi:

When you talk about screen A and screen B, are you referring to tabs on the top of your screen in Firefox? Because to close those, you:

  1. click on the tab
  2. while in the tab, go to the top of it at the top of your screen
  3. hover over it
  4. you shoould now see an "x" at the rightmost side of the tab. Now click on that to only close that tab.

Were you referring to that? Thanks for your patience!
