I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

Chosen solution

Just right click on the tab you want to close and select close tab option. Otherwise press Ctrl + W (or) Ctrl + F4 to close the current tab.

Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.
