Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Yesterday, my 20ish open tabs acted as normal.

The X to close a tab was only present on the active open tab, with the rest not displaying it.

Today, after I updated Firefox Nightly to Version 119.0a1 (2023-08-30) (64-bit), it reopened and now there is no X to close even the active open tab.

I can't find any setting that controls this, no idea how it happened, but right clicking to close a tab is very cumbersome. Anyone know how to restore the X to close tabs like normal?

Firefox Desktop front-end engineer here.

This is a bug caused by a refactor / code cleanup. The bug that caused the regression is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1849904

We've found the issue and spun up new Nightly builds which should be out ~~soon~~ now.
