    I know this may look cheesy but I'm trying to upload a file using firefox and, by habit and muscle memory, I keep quitting the browser and then I have to restart the uploading process again. So Is there a way to keep firefox open even if I closed it accidentally

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.

    Programs closing when clicking on Minimize

    When I click minimize no error appears it just closes like when I press the X button.

    I did research and nothing came up about it so no I have not done any troubleshooting steps.

    Is there a way to force unquit a program even if I clicked the close (X) icon?

    How can I quickly close many Windows/Programs?

    I find that the fastest way to natively achieve this is like this:

    1. Click on the desired program in your task bar
    2. alt + F4

    This is quicker because you close precisely the programs you wish to close where as alt + tab-ing through your programs forces you to step over unwanted programs causing you to endure more time.
