Where did Close Tab and Close Window under the File tab go? I end up with all these open windows or exiting altogether.
Under the File tab, I no longer see Close Tab or Close Window. Thus, I end up with a lot of open windows, because if I click File Exit, I'm logged out.

There never was a Close Tab or Close Window in File or any Meun by default in Firefox. There is the usual New Tab and New Window in File menu yes.
Those Close Tab or Close Window may have been due to a Tab related Extension.

Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to the File and Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by pressing Alt or by pressing F10.

Yes, I can see them now using Alt+F. Can they be made to show up in the menu just by clicking File? That's how it was in the previous version of Firefox, and it was much more convenient.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */ #navigator-toolbox menuitem[class="show-only-for-keyboard"]{ display:-moz-box !important; }
Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
When I click on this, "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul", I get a message that this technology is no longer supported.
You need to create a file userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder and paste the above posted code in the file.
You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to make it easier to edit the file.
You can access the profile folder via this button:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
That code will cause all hidden menu entries to get visible all the time, so you can use the mouse to open the menus and do not need to use the keyboard.
