I found that this feature only works for tabs in browsing, and I would like to close it by double-clicking on any tab in the tab bar

Double-clicking to close tabs is not built into Firefox, so you must be using an add-on for that.
Edit: per comment below, it is available natively but must be enabled.

// Tabbed browser
pref("browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick", false);
