J Query (ID: 0000001c955b70db) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/13/2019 Great! It needs the little ‘X’ icon that appears in Tabli when you run the cursor over that tab in the tab list. It closes the tab without having to go to it and close it there. But I love that it can search bookmarks and history and open those files! Tabli can't do that. I have disabled Tabli and mostly run with TurboTab.
