A couple of things Firefox needs iin my opinion is a new page/tab button
on the main toolbar and also the ability to close tabs individually.
Unless it already has this feature and I am missing something.

Closing tabs without right clicking I mean.

Wish granted!

You can open a new tab by double clicking a blank space on the tab bar, and
there is a close current tab button on the far right side of that same bar.

True, but if you have just two tabs open and click the close current tab
button, it closes both of them. Does on my computer anyway. What I was
meaning was a feature like Opera where there is a close button on each
tab. I didn't know about the double click though, thanks for that.

Right click, customize your toolbar, add the "New tab" button to your
toolbar.

Middle click on the tab.

Edit, Preferences, Advanced. In the Tabbed Browsing section, you can get
it to display the tab bar when only one tab is open.
