my tabs no longer have a close option on the tab (the 'X' doesn't appear on my tabs) I must close from the pull down.

Chosen solution

Note that you can double-click a tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close the tab.


Does this also happen if you have two tabs open?

Firefox hides the close X on the first tab by default and also hides the close X on not selected tabs if you open that many tabs that scroll buttons appear.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Hi, off topic but there is a error in your Video Card Drivers : featureLog: {u'fallbacks': [{u'message': u'Unsupported by driver', u'name': u'NO_CONSTANT_BUFFER_OFFSETTING'}],

Will let cor-el finish this.
