I opened a pdf by middle-clicking to open in new tab, and then I couldn't close
that new tab after I'd finished reading it.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that Acrobat Reader plugin is installed
2. Go to http://www.gregpalast.com/contents.htm
3. Middle click on "Who Gives a Shit? An Introduction to the New American Edition"
4. Wait for the PDF to load
5. Close the tab with the PDF in it

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Tab should close

An easy workaround is just to load any normal HTML page in that tab, and then
close it.

I'm using the Tabbed Browser Extensions plugin, so it might be a bug in that.

Tab can be close without any problem, using a current CVS based trunk build, linux.

I am using adobe acrobat 5.0.5 plugin.

So it /must/ be a Tabbed Browser Extensions plugin bug.

Closing bug as invalid ?

How did you try to close the tab? Ctrl-w or hitting the x in the upper corner?
In the first case, this is a dupe of bug 78414.

As reporter I'm closing this because it now works for me as well.
