But we haven't figured out how to close the tabs in the browser! Opening new ones is easy enough. And each tab has a little x, which you would think should close the tab. But no.

Press button twice. A bar of app icons appears at the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of the icons.

He can close the browser, but next time it opens, it still has all the old tabs open, and new ones open sometimes when links are clicked...
