It's an advice to Firefox and I don't know whether this option is available in the latest update of firefox.
if there are lots of tabs, then the button to close them individually will go invisible, so anyone who wants to close an inactive tab, he needs to select that tab to close it. i know there is a limit of space to include the close button if many tabs are open, my advice is, when one points to an invisible tab, the button to close that tab(only) would appear, so it is easy to close an inactive tab without switching to it. I don't know whether this is the right place for my opinion, if not please tell me where I can say this .

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Also check the Mouse driver setting in the Windows Control Panel.

You can middle-click any tab to close that tab, whether the tab is selected or not selected.
There is still support for a pref to have a close button on all tabs.
When I middle click on any tab it just gets selected and it wont close.
Is your middle click able to open links into a new tab at least? if not then you may have your middle click set to something else.
By default the middle-click should open links into a new tab and when hovering over to close them.
