Firefox Tweak - Removing The [X] Close Button From Tabs
I've set up all my non-Mac using clients with 3-button (or more) mice, for their computers, so I often remove the [X] close button from tabs in Mozilla Firefox. They've all learned to close tabs with the middle-click, so the close button becomes just a nuisance when one accidentally clicks on it when trying to access a tab. Luckily, it's a breeze to remove them from Firefox.First step should ALWAYS be to back up your Firefox profile using MozBackup or Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE) - or both. Then type about:config in the Firefox address bar. In the search bar that comes up, look for browser.tabs.closeButtons. Once it comes up, you can click on it and change the integer value to 2 to deactivate the close button on all tabs (1 seems to be the default, with all tabs showing the close button, and 0 sets it so only the active tabs has the close button).
