Does this happen when you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode. i think an extension, probably Tab Mix plus, is causing this.

Either what Tyler said or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons Short version: Change browser.tabs.closeButtons to 1 in about:config. Please report back if this fixes your issue.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090715 Minefield/3.6a1pre ID:20090715043739 Using trunk nightlies. I am having this problem when more than six tabs are opened. Six or less tabs and the close button is there. With seven or more tabs open then only the focused tab has a close button. browser.tabs.closeButtons is set to 1 and I don't use TMP. It also happens in safe-mode, all extensions disabled. Not life-threatening but a nuisance.
This is intentional, as the close button could be hit accidentally when the tabs get too small. The preference for this is browser.tabs.tabClipWidth.

Thanks, that understandable. I had wondered about changing the clip value. Sorry for hijacking the bug.
