Thanks for answering Dropa. No, not the X button at the top right of my screen to close a page. I'm referring to the X at the end of an tab. I use them to close things I have open.

Can you post a screenshot showing the issue? see screenshot Also, try updating to 104 to see if it helps. For me, when the tab is active the x is there, but just hovering over another tab that I'm currently not using the x is not there.

Thanks for answering my query. I have decided to change browsers. I have been a FF user for years, but now I have so many problems that I think i am finally finished with FF. I have this problem about my missing X, the browser will not open entirely. that stupid decision to block my FVD speed dial without any warning and a list of other things, i have finally had it. So, thank you again for trying to help.

Thank you for letting us know.

Note that you can middle-click a tab with the mouse wheel to close the tab. When you have a lot of tabs open then Firefox will only show the close X on the selected tab and hides it from the other tabs as set via these prefs.

• about:config => browser.tabs.tabClipWidth
• about:config => browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

Blame the author(s) of FVD extension as it was their doing in getting their extension blocked.

The FVD Extension repeatedly violated Mozilla's Add-on Policies terms despite Mozilla explicitly pointing them out. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked-addon/[email protected]/77.5.7/
