| [FireFox] Close tab button in 3.5 RC2
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. |

| 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.  |

said by amazingm  :...once I remove all other tabs and one is left, the close button disappears. 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). |

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. |

2 edits | 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. |

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.
