Hi,

I want to get the Firefox 1.5 Close button at the end of the tabs slider again (see Screenshot attached). The last time I used Firefox was version 12.0, where the following fix enabled this option:

Go to Firefox preferences editing page by keying in about:config in the Firefox’s address bar at Navigation Toolbar, then press Enter or click on the green Go. Typing the name of the preference in the filter box. In this case, the preference that need to be changed is browser.tabs.closeButtons. You can also scroll down and browse the list of options to locate it. Double click on browser.tabs.closeButtons, or right click on it and then select Modify. At the “Enter integer value” window, enter one of the following values to change the position and location of tabs’ close button to the value that suit your preference: 0: One close button only on the active tab. 1: Each tabs has its own close button (default) 2: Removes all close buttons (no close button, right click to select option to close the tab). 3: Display a single close button at the end of the tab strip bar (style as in Firefox 1.5).

However this no longer appears to work. Is there an add-on that provides this close button functionality or a different method in the about:config ?

Thank you for your time and help!

For some reason the screenshot isn't appearing, so here it is again.

I use this; Quit Firefox {web link} Quit Firefox provides statusbar and Toolbar buttons to quickly shut down Firefox. It is especially useful for laptop users.

FredMcD, if you have used Firefox long enough you would know of the close tab button on the far right like in image. The OP was not asking for a toolbar button to close Firefox but to close the active tab the old way.

LWest, there are Tab related extensions at addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ like this one https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/close-button/

edit: according to http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.tabs.closeButtons this old Preference was removed a while back as of Firefox 31.0

The extension Classic Theme Restorer can restore the tab close button also. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Support for the browser.tabs.closeButtons pref has been removed, so it is no longer possible to use this pref to set when close buttons appear.

Unfortunately that is not what I'm requesting and doesn't help return the button on the right instead of on individual tabs as I'm looking for. Any other suggestions?

Thank you so much James and cor-el! That resolves it for me, cheers
