Will this need a SUMO Knowledge Base article? If so, can we get a SUMO Bugzilla (https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MSS/pages/21430745/Mozilla+Knowledge+Base+and+Support+Content) submitted? Thanks!

Verified that "Close duplicate tabs" is available and working as intended.

Tests were performed on Firefox 127.0b7 on macOS 14.5, Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04.
