I know about Ctl-W and about right clicking then closing the tab from the menu, but the simple X button was much easier. How can I get it back ?

You can middle click with the mouse scroll button a tab to close that tab.


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

You can also try to reset the pref via the Safe mode start window.

Strange thing - I have made no changes, but they have re-appeared today!

Many thanks for the middle-click solution as well!
