Hi!

As far as I know, this is a minor kink in Firefox's new Australis interface. I'm not sure if the bug has been filed yet; Mozilla's bug-files can be found here.

For now, you can try to fix Firefox temporarily by clicking "Restore Down" (the button to the left of the orange Windows "Exit" button) and then clicking it again. I'm sorry that it's not a permanent fix; it's the best I can do. Stay tuned on this thread, though; other Firefox Support members might have better information.

I hope that solved your problem!

If it did, would you please choose this answer as your solution? It would help other Firefox users to find help on the forums faster and more efficiently. Thanks!

And of course, feel free to post back if you need more help!

Happy browsing!

Thanks for the quick reply Epicaleb.

"Restore down" does the trick to restore the tab, however, the tingamjig with the "X" to close still isn't restored. I'm attaching a screenshot to show what I mean. I know it's a minor thing but I thought it would be appreciated if it is brought to Mozilla's attention.

Wow, yikes! I've never seen that before. Hopefully (I can't guarantee fixes because I'm not a Firefox developer), this will be smoothed out in a future update.

Yes, hopefully, but they won't know to "smooth it out" if they don't know about it. It's not a big thing to me but I thought I'd just let the developers know. Hello developers, are you listening?
