When I want to close a website page at the top of the screen, it closes Firefox instead and i have to reopen it. How do I close just the current web page, and not Firefox?

hello, don't close the window on the top right if you want to continue your session in firefox, but just close the tab of that page or navigate to a different site (your homepage)...

Use tabs to organize lots of websites in a single window
