Can't close browser tabs

I'm having an issue with an LG G pad. Chrome 87.0.4280.101 Firefox Daylight 84.1.2 (Build #2015783145) OS Android 5.1.1 LG-V940n Build/LMY47V I don't do much with it other than email, browsing and Netflix. Everything was working fine until last month, then it decided that I can't close browser tabs anymore. I'm assuming there was an update that happened. I have found three other posts on this (see below) sorry for the duplicate. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/232023/i-cant-open-or-close-any-tabs-on-my-android-tablet-in-chrome https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/231895/im-unable-to-toggle-between-chrome-tabs https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/89468/cant-switch-close-tabs-in-the-chrome-browser-on-my-android-tablet This happens with Chrome and has happened with Firefox too. Both and seems to be related to video. Once I view video in a new tab, I can't switch, close or create tabs. However, I can open links in new tabs, but I cannot switch to them. I can switch to/from private mode as well, but still can't do anything with tabs. Additionally, I have tried simplified mode and desktop with no difference. If I rotate the tablet it seems to unlock the tabs and I can switch/open/close them again. In the posts above, mention going to settings->developer options which I don't have. And why should a simple user of chrome need to tweak any developer options. Do I have any options than rotating the thing and waiting for an update that hopefully fixes the issue?
