If I have more than one tab open, I want to close only one but when I try to close the one I don't want a message comes up to say it will close all the tabs I have open. How do I just close the one I don't want

How did you close the tabs previously?

If you use the close X on the title bar then you close the window with all tabs.
You need to use the close X on the tab.
You can also middle-click the tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close the tab.
