Update: This only seems to fix it if you click the x.

I see the same behaviour, also in a new profile for testing.

[Bug 583797] Re: Firefox closed multiple tabs without warning
Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one. You can start the profile manager with the following command: firefox -ProfileManager Also, in regards to the button placement, the button location is theme- specific, so you can change the button layout by changing from Ambiance/Radiance to something else. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Firefox closed multiple tabs without warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
