Firefox has a feature named tab groups. Since you can only see one group at a time, you might have a tab in a different group. Press Ctrl+Shift+e to open and close the tab group screen to take a look. To combine tabs into one group, you can drag them between the different rectangles on that screen.

Is that it?

If so, what is the hidden tab about?

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
