I've never been unable to close a tab. I tried all of the URL's he
provided that worked and didn't fall into any 'quicksand.' I've had issues
trying to use the back button on some sites, but then I just close the tab.

There is a bug in 9.50 and 9.51 I found playing spades on Yahoo. If a java
applet for say and invitation, or score applet is left open when you close
Opera, the browser closes, but a process is still running as viewed in the
task manager. You have to terminate that before you can run Opera again.
