Hi
It's difficult to explain, so here's a video

Basically I want this to stop happening. When I press the Red Cross I just want the page to disappear like it has previously.
Any help would be appreciated

The Red Cross is unknown to me
A Red Button in the Top Left of the Open and Running Application ?
That I do know
To Close an Open and Running application.
There are various ways to Close an Application
Click the Red Button may Close the Window of the application
Though, certain applications like Safari, Mail, Notes an some others may close the window but the application is still running
Check the Dock, if you use it
If the Window of said application has been truly 100% Closed, the application in the Dock will Not have the small black dot beneath it
The other way to Close and application
With said application window In view and focus
Use the keyboard combo ⌘ + q

In case you didn't get the notification before your 2nd post was removed…
Try disabling Displays have separate Spaces in System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Mission Control. You have to log out and back in after the change.

Thx
Sorry about that earlier comment about the Red Cross
I Only saw the Red + Cross once I Blew Up the below image
If I have offered you, I do apologize about.
The Street Lights ( to use that term ) in the Upper Lift of open windows of applications
Red is Close ( refer to earlier explanations on Closed ) Yellow is minimize
Mouse Over the Green button, as @Barney-15E mentioned
Will provide various options " Move & Resize ", " Fill and Arrange " plus Full Screen

Sorry, have watched all 3 vids multi times
I just do not get it, to be candid about this
It kind of looks like a Start Page in Safari, then it disappears , then you click in Dock >> Safari >> to launch
Thereafter Safari is put in Full Screen Mode
Then, Safari disappears again
After the latest " episode " I just do not trust what I think I am seeing
Perhaps the Other contributor in you question can shed some light on this
