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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22789427 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:15:21 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22767139 anon : Shame on the developers at Mozilla for removing this last-tab functionality.

and you can again close the last tab.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22638167 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:49:56 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636143 anon : Yes, works also on mac osx]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636143 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:14:46 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626815 anon : Thank you very much,

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22591949 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:19:59 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22591861 amazingm :

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; }
Thanks for the tip. Now, at least I am able to close the last tab with ctrl-w. However, after changing the setting in about:config to false and creating a userChrome.css file in my profile with the text you included, the last tab still does not have a close button. :huh: ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22591861 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:04:42 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22588017 anon : Add the following code to userChrome.css

...once I remove all other tabs and one is left, the close button disappears. :huh:
Which is one reason why I set my home page to about:blank (which is no problem for me since I always start with a blank page anyway). I just click on the Home button now instead of "closing" the last tab (which I want to do because I have an image in my "blank" page).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22587286 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 14:44:40 EDT Re: [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22586780 norky : found this:

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. :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22586713 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 11:55:06 EDT [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22585259 norky : In 3.0-whatever if I only had one tab open it still had the x to close it on it. Is there any way to have this in 3.5?

Found this in about:config

browser.tabs.closeButtons

Then found: »kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons

which states:

Possible values and their effects

0

Display a close button on the active tab only

1

Display close buttons on all tabs (Default)

2

Don’t display any close buttons

3

Display a single close button at the end of the tab strip (Firefox 1.x behavior)

However, with the integer set to 1, a close button does not appear on a tab if it is the only tab open. It did in previous versions (3.0.*)

I don't know if this is a bug or intended behavior. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22585259 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 23:38:21 EDT
