I would suggest that in these situations, the active/focussed tab should show the 'close' icon.
All other tabs should show fav icons until they are selected/focussed.

In other word;, the user can easily close the current tab with a single click, but in order to close other/inactive tabs they will have to first select/focus them - this helps us avoid very annoying situations where attempting to select/focus a different tabs results in accidental clicks/taps on the 'close' icon.
