I am running SM 2.49.3 under Win7/Pro x64.
When I hover over the SM icon on my Quick Launch bar and place the cursor on one of the icon for an open window there is a red 'x' at the far right. If I click on it, the url is cleared from the open window and a blank window is left open. Is this an intentional feature? If so, is there a similarly simple way to completely close that window from the Quick Launch bar?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately it does not address my question.
I have a SeaMonkey icon on my Quick Launch bar. If I hover on it, a list drops down. If I hover on an entry there is an X to the right. If I click on it the URL is cleared but the window remains open. If the X in the 'blank' entry is clicked everything remains the same.
I'm asking if there is a simple way to close the window from the Quick Launch bar.

Re: Closing a Window From Quick Launch
This was my first attempt at including an image. I copied the HTML for the 'Gallery' at imgbox.com. Here's a try at the 'Images.'

That's not Quick Launch bar. By default QL under Win7 is disabled:baumgrenze wrote:This was my first attempt at including an image. I copied the HTML for the 'Gallery' at imgbox.com. Here's a try at the 'Images.'

To use it you must add it first:

What you see is Taskbar with pinned applications. SeaMonkey must be pinned because it didn't disappeared when you click close button.
What is "pin" (2nd definition):

It is long standing bug, with no fix available iircbaumgrenze wrote:I am running SM 2.49.3 under Win7/Pro x64.

Re: Closing a Window From Quick Launch
Thank you, PX, for the clarifying comment.
I stand corrected. I'm clearly not alone in calling the "Quick Launch Toolbar" the "Quick Launch Bar." Semantics are important.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -windows-7
That said, the 'red X' in the dropdown is pretty useless if you must navigate to the page to close it with the X in the upper right.
Perhaps I'm missing the point; perhaps there are occasions where access to a totally unassigned browser window is useful but none come to mind as I write.
thanks
