For some reason, none of the tabs have an option to close the tab without moving the focus to that tab. I have to open the tab before I can click the 'x' button. the setting in about:config is at 1, which should show the buttons, but its not.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

If you have opened too many tabs then it is possible that you only see a close button on the active tab.
