Two problems with tabs: (1) no "x" to close; and (2) unable to open new tab adjacent to current tab
I don't know if this is a change in how Firefox works, a glitch in my download, or an improper setting, but my tabs don't have an "x" on them to close.
Also, tabs now open at the end of the list rather than in the adjacent window as the did recently. Is there any way to switch this back so new tabs open adjacent to the current tab?

You can reset the tab prefs on the about:config page in case they have been changed.
- browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
- browser.tabs.closeButtons
If you want a close X on the first tab if only one tab is open then set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.
If you have tab related extensions then check their settings (Options).
- Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
For whatever reason, these things didn't work after upgrading to 4.0.1, and the settings in config were even as they should have been. After turning them off and then on and restarting Firefox, they worked just as I had hoped. Many thanks.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
