This is a really complex one that I found while using many tabs, fastfinding in
one, and then trying to close the rest.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open four or so tabs (ctrl+T)
2. Open fast find in the second empty tab
3. Close that tab
4. Try to close the tab which has just appeared, fail
5. Close fastfind, try to close the tab again, fail
5. Switch to another tab, switch back, and now you can close it.
Actual Results:  
I couldn't close the tab.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to close the tab.

I did this in a fresh profile.

This bug is not a dupe of bug 273910.  I saw bug 273910 and noticed that it was
not similar enough.

Bug 273910 is about find failing to find text in the tab after closing another
tab, bug 291010 was about failing to close the tab after closing another tab. 
This is a big enough difference, I believe, to reopen this bug.  I'll email
Peter on this and see if we agree.

This looks such a familiar bug
I'll reopen but i'me sure it's a dupe of another one

I did a couple of fairly general searches, and I am unable to find anything to
dupe this to.

I can reproduce following reporter's steps.  I am adding the clean-report keyword.

dupe of Bug 273200?

Is 'close' by using mouse, or by keyboard shortcuts? Keyboard shortcuts problem
is  bug 273200.

It's using mouse to hit the red x in the top right.

Can't reproduce it anymore and haven't really noticed it in the past few days. 
I guess something fixed it.  Don't know what it was though.
