Note: You need to have wmctrl and xdotool installed in your system. If you don't have ~/.bash_aliases replace ~/.bash_aliases in the above commands with ~/.bashrcĪnd it will close Firefox’s current tab instantaneously. You can make an alias for the above commands, say the alias name be cfct ( Close Firefox Current Tab) in ~/.bashrc or better in ~/.bash_aliases from a terminal as, echo -e '\nalias cfct='wmctrl -a firefox xdotool key Ctrl+w wmctrl -r firefox -b add,shaded'' > ~/.bash_aliases
