Missing "X" to close tab in Mojave

After a new page is opened, there is no "x" in the upper left to close the window.

This just started happening.

I am sure the top sites icon used to be in the upper left corner of the tab bar.

Now it is in the favorites bar and I cannot move it or "pin it" into the tab bar.

If there is more than one page opened, then the "x" is available on the pages until

I am down to one page, then no "x" to close page.

I hope this is not too confusing and if anyone can offer some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Everything you describe is normal in the current version of Safari. If there is only one tab open and you want to close it, you can use File Menu > Close Window, command W, or click the red dot at the left end of the address bar.
