Technically it does, you just have to figure out what the os process is and kill it, each tab is a separate os process. I have killed weather channel with kill -9 many times(it is easy to find it as it leaks ram and is the only multiple-gb firefox thread).
If you have a 2nd firefox window open (and can switch to it) then you can do "about:performance" it will list all of the separate processes/tabs and you can click on X and that one tab goes empty/stops and you can go back to the original firefox window and x the tab itself without reloading it.
