It can not be closed (either with the X or with middle mouse button) and the URL in the navigation bar does not follow the navigation in the tab. Other tabs work fine. Movie here: http://www.linuxonly.nl/~sjoerd/firefox-broken-tab2.avi (4 MB) Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Actual Results: URL bar did not change Expected Results: URL bar should show the current URL
The Error Console showed the following when trying to close the tab Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIWebProgress.removeProgressListener]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml :: _beginRemoveTab :: line 1443" data: no]
I could reproduce the problem (once!). This happened to me right now also using Fx 3.1b1, but on Linux. In my case, both CPU load jumped to 100%, probably preventing the tab to be closed because it was waiting for something. I decided to close Firefox, but it was still running in the background and I had to kill it.

Bug 460162 - unclosable untitled tab created when moving tabs between windows I did drag a tab between windows yesterday, so that may have caused it.
Sjoerd: thanks for the report, particularly for the exception text. Have you seen this in the 3.5.x releases or on a more recent build? From your comments I think the particular case you encountered was a bug in beta, same as bug 460162.
Summary: Broken tab: Navigation bar does not change and tab can not be closed → Broken tab: Navigation bar does not change and tab can not be closed (NS_ERROR_FAILURE - nsIWebProgress.removeProgressListener - tabbrowser.xml :: _beginRemoveTab)
Got this behavior with the last 3.6.11 beta. The automatically opened tab with beta release notes after first launch could not be closed using CMD-W, the tab's [x] button or the File::Close Tab menu. Other tabs can be opened and closed as usual. Agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101001 Firefox/3.6.11
Looks like the bug I reported: Bug 463386
I can reproduce this 100%. Install KeeFox and playing around - create new tabs, go to various websites, and close them. Now tabbrowser is broken. User-Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0" Firefox is from Arch Linux repository. I'm going to build nightly and check whether the problem is still or not.
