I can't close the far left tab.
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
I'm having an issue with Firefox, and I've had it for a few months/versions now.
Every now and then, the far left tab on my browser won't close. I hit the x, and nothing happens. I try to move it to another window, nothing happens. The only way to close it is by closing all other tabs. When I close the last other tab, the far left tab closes on its own. It's done this since late November, on both a mac running 10.4 and a PC running Vista.
This happened
A few times a week
No specific cause

I have the same problem.
Does anybody have any idea about what could cause this?
You need to figure out which extension you have installed is causing that to happen - something isn't fully compatible with Firefox 3.6.8, I would guess.
