How to close a specific tab--not just the last one or all of them?

When I have multiple tabs open, if I need to close just one, Firefox does an all-or-none. You should be able to close just one specific tab without killing everything else you are working on. I still haven't found how to do it. Please help.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== when using more than one tab window

Are you closing tabs with the X on each individual tabs?

Or do the X buttons on each tab not appear?

How are you attempting to close a tab?

See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Tabbed+browsing#Closing_and_restoring_tabs for a video.

You can also middle mouse click on the tab. Middle mouse click is just pressing the scroll wheel down.

When I click on the x to close a window, all windows are closing. When I click on an active link to open a new window, nothing happens , only the already pen one gets replaced. It' s a pain in the butt, and there is no help or solution from FIREFOX, I studied all help resources. I will not attach screen shot to this mail, as that wouldn't help anything. My solution - I will work with SAFARI or SEAMONKEY instead and not use FIREFOX any longer.
