How do you close a single tab when you have multiple tabs opened in Firefox focus?

It seems like when you open multiple tabs and want to close just one of them, that the only option you get is to delete all history aka close all tabs open..? Why isn't there a close this tab only sort of option?

Hi, right now you can only close all of them - if this is something you think needs to be added - file an enhancement bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

You can close individual tabs buy using Android's back button several times till the tab closes. Do note that your session data is only destroyed when all the tabs are closed.

Thanks I already knew that, but that is not really a solution, I dont really need the session data destroyed of each tab, it is fine that it is destroyed after entire browser is closed, I was just looking for a way to close each tab since I use the browser as my default one, sometimes it gets a few tabs open and each tab might have many pages of browsing so going back until it clears that tab is just not as easy as a 'close tab' function... I guess I will have to submit enhancement report, I will find it rare if no one else has already filed one..
