Hi,

Please try pressing Alt + F on the keyboard. This brings out the full File menu. You can also try to close a tab by pressing the middle button of the mouse when the mouse pointer is over a tab, or clicking on the x on the right edge of a tab.

Close Tab was removed from the File menu.

Use the X on the Tab to close that Tab. Or right-click on that Tab and use Close Tab. Or you can use { Ctrl + W } to close the Tab which has focus.
