I currently use this code to always hide all close button and show them on hover after a short delay to prevent closing a tab when selecting it. 

/* TAB: close button colors on hover */
.tab-close-button:hover {
  background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.7) !important;
  fill: white !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]) .tab-close-button {
  display: inline-flex !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]) .tab-close-button {
  max-width: 0 !important;
  transition: all 100ms ease-in-out 100ms;
}

/* close button shown on hover */
 .tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]):hover .tab-close-button {
  max-width: 20px !important;
  transition: all 250ms ease-in-out 800ms;
}
