Suddenly an open Firefox window has no response to efforts to close open tabs. Neither clicking on the "x" in open tabs, nor the keyboard shortcut Command+W have any effect. The "x" does highlight when hovered upon, and appears to react to the click, but nothing results. I could not close the tab which opened just now for Troubleshooting Information. AND YET, I open a second Firefox window and everything functions normally.

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).
