Has anyone had a problem with tabs/windows suddenly closing in Safari when you turn the iPad off?

New tabs keep opening while opening a tab in Safari on my iPhone. It also opens a tab on my iPad. as soon as I close the tab on my iPhone, it closes the tab on the iPad I don’t recall changing any settings. Everything is up-to-date, software, wise.

The “x” that closes a single safari tab or window on my iPad has disappeared I always keep more than one window open in safari - not split screen style - if I want to read something later. Then I just hit the “x” on the place description under the address bar when I’m finished to close it. While I was using my iPad this morning, I must have inadvertently done something to make the x’s disappear. I can hit the 2 boxes at the top right of the screen to close all the windows at once, but I can’t close just one. Does anyone know how to fix this? Turning the iPad off and restarting it doesn’t change anything. Thanks.

VERY helpful. Thank you so much! I will try some of the options described should Safari tabs drop off or close unexpectedly again.
