Thanks so much for this!
For some reason, my “close tab” buttons were only displaying on the active tab, but now I’ve got all of them back.
Great hack.

Over two years after you posted it, and I needed the information due to a brand new computer. Thank you, changing the “1″ to a “3″ works just like I want it to.

An easier way to do this is installing Tab Close Control extension. (see http://www.sicomit.com/tccabout).

Thanks a lot. I liked the close tab button to stay on the right side like it was in Firefox 1.5 and in Opera, but lost it when I just upgraded. That would have been annoying to hunt for the box each time. I don’t know why people would like that.

I used to love the old firefox, when i had multiple websites open and shut down my comp without closing them and then booted the next morning, all i had to do is open the all previous days tabs. Why can’t i do this with the new fox? or can i?

thanksa

Thanks a bundle for this. Default tab behavior sucks! A close button on every tab!!! HOW STUPID! I was consistently closing tab buttons accidentally until I switched it to only have the close button on the active tab. BTW….the easiest way to close tabs is to use the keyboard… CTRL-W.

Thank you so much!!! I was inadvertently closing tabs on pages I hadn’t read yet. Was sooooo inconvenient since I tend to open 10 pages at a time then read and close one by one by just clicking ONE close button.

Thanks very much for this help.

I saw the same problem as mine but i couldn’t find the answer.

When I exit Mozilla it closes all my open tabs!! Opera allows you to continue from where you left off?
Can that be fixed and how?
