Hi, Im a new Apple MacBook Pro user. I opened a window in Safari and it will not close. The right x in the upper left hand corner of the screen is greyed out so I can't use it. I even tried to shut down the entire system, but I can't until I close that stubborn window in Safari. Can someone please give me direction on HOW DO I CLOSE THE STUBBORN WINDOW IN SAFARI?
Thank you
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
