Before, I had a "file" tab at the top left hand corner of my menu bar. Now it is gone and replaced with an orange "Firefox" tab. When I click on the tab I get a "new tab" but I do not get a "close tab". I don't know what the "new tab" is for but I don't really care. What I do care is closing a tab and now that you have eliminated the "File" option how can I close my tab and get to my previous page?????

You can middle click a Tab or right-click a Tab and choose Close Tab or press Ctrl+W to close the current Tab.

You can also use Alt + F to open the File menu to see a Close Tab item.

Some menu entries are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).

You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or Alt+B to open the 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 tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
