I can't close any of my tabs that are open using the little x that used to be there.

I used to be able to have a few tabs open at the same time and if I wanted to close one of them, all I had to do was to click the X at the top right-hand corner of the tab. Now I can't do that anymore because the X is gone from the tabs. I would like to get the X back onto my tabs. Can I do this and if so, how?

The main page of the "Hide Tab Bar With One Tab" extension shows the 1.2beta3 version as current and updating the extension should fix the problems with the close button.

Also if you have a mouse of trackball with a scroll wheel or middle-click button then you can not only use them to open a link into a new tab but also hover over tab and close them with middle-click.
