So just updated to Firefox 55 and found that the close button for each tab other than the active one has been removed.
Had to use an extension to fix this:

Is there a native way to enable the close button for tabs to be reinstated without an extension?

Re: FF 55 - Close button on tabs has been removed
I can't reproduce your issue on Fx55, but with this code you can force the close icon to be always visible on all tabs:
Add it to userChrome.css or userContent.css in your profiles /chrome/ folder (no add-on required) or to a CSS loader add-on like Stylish.
Code: Select all
#TabsToolbar #tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]):not([protected]) .tab-close-button {
visibility: visible !important;
display: block !important;
}
#TabsToolbar #tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]):not([protected])[faviconized="true"] .tab-close-button {
visibility: collapse !important;
display: none !important;
}

I just installed the 64 bit version & my close buttons are still there.

They are there for me, too.
Perhaps the issue with the OP is that too many tabs were opened up at once? At a certain point, I believe FF does turn off that close button, to make sure that people don't inadvertently close tabs when they mean to select them.

In my current session, I have roughly 100 tabs.
Thanks Aris, this worked for me!Aris wrote:I can't reproduce your issue on Fx55, but with this code you can force the close icon to be always visible on all tabs:
