Bulk Closing Tabs
Right-click any live tab to close a whole window’s worth of tabs, a whole browser’s worth, or everything above or below that tab, without closing them one at a time.
Right-click Actions
Right-click a tab in the Live Tabs list to see these bulk-close actions alongside the regular per-tab actions (Activate, Open With, Close Tab):
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Close Other Tabs in Window | Closes every other tab in the same browser window, leaving only the one you clicked |
| Close Other Tabs in Browser | Closes every other tab in that browser across all its windows, leaving only the one you clicked |
| Close Other Tabs in All Browsers | Closes every other tab across every browser, leaving only the one you clicked |
| Close All Tabs in Browser | Closes every tab in that browser, including the one you clicked |
Close Other Tabs in All Browsers asks you to confirm first, because it reaches every browser at once. So does Close All Browser Tabs in the Live Tabs header menu. While tabs close, a notice shows the progress, then how many closed. Turn those notices off with Close Tabs in All Browsers in Preferences → General → Notifications. | Close Tabs Above (in Window) | Closes every tab above this one in the same window | | Close Tabs Below (in Window) | Closes every tab below this one in the same window |
Above/Below are scoped to the tab strip of the same browser window - they don’t reach into other windows or other browsers.
Other Tabs vs All Tabs
Close Other Tabs in Browser keeps the tab you right-clicked open. Close All Tabs in Browser closes it too. Use Other Tabs to clean up around the page you’re on; use All Tabs when you’re done with that browser entirely.
