[FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2

I'm having the same problem (which is why I reverted back to 3.0.11). In 3.0.11, with 0 in browser.tabs.closeButtons it works as intended (since the last tab remaining becomes the active tab). However, it does not work in 3.5. Even if I change to 2 (display close button on all tabs), once I remove all other tabs and one is left, the close button disappears.

Add the following code to userChrome.css

Important:
Also go into about:config and change
browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.

/* Add tab-close-button to last tab*/
.tabbrowser-tabs[closebuttons="alltabs"] > .tabbrowser-tab >
.tab-close-button { display: -moz-box !important; }
.tabbrowser-tabs:not([closebuttons="noclose"]):not
([closebuttons="closeatend"]) >
.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] > .tab-close-button { display: -moz-
box !important; }

Worked for me (only after I cleaned up the formatting to ensure line-endings didn't interfere with white-space et al**). Also works fine in Stylish.

**Oddly, I repeated the process just now: copy & paste as is (no re-formatting) and it still works... but it didn't work the first time I did it--don't know why.

I decided to try again after seeing your post and sure enough it does work.

Thanks for the tip Sanjay.

Change this config:

browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

to false

and you can again close the last tab.

I found this add-on that also solves the problem:

Shame on the developers at Mozilla for removing this last-tab functionality. It never fails to amaze me how perfectly working logic is suddenly changed on a whim.

I have found one problem with both the userChrome.css fix and the add-on. Both conflict with the Tab Kit add-on. This is an issue since I was using Tab Kit to duplicate tabs in 3.5 since the Duplicate Tab add-on has not been updated for 3.5.

I used the latest TabMixPlus (available on their forum) and did a turn off/turn on and it works fine.
