Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?

I want a new tab ope for each app. I am using so I can just click on the tab, and continue to work on that app. I "Don't" want to use the "History" and then wait for it to "Reload" that tab!! I want my tabs all open until I close them. Also, why isn't there an"X" in the current tba to be able to close it??

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu.
Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
