When I try to close one tab, the tabs dissapear

When I have "Always show the tab bar" checked, tabs work normally.

However, when I turn "Always show the tab bar" off, I get this problem:

If I have a bunch of tabs open and I close one, it leaves the next one open, but the tab bar dissapears, making it look like all the others have closed. I know that it hasn't closed the other tabs, since Ctrl+Shift+T only has to reload the first tab, and it also shows the tab bar again. Alternately, turning "Always show the tab bar" on shows all the other tabs are still open.

Is there a way to fix this, or do I just hope that the next update will fix it for me?

I ran Firefox in safe mode, and the problem went away. Then I started the browser normally, and I didn't experience it anymore.

If it doesn't happen again in the near future, I'll just mark this as solved.
