Close tab buttons are not visible on every tab, how should I fix this?

Hi there; After updating to FF5 I have found that I no longer have a close button on all my open tabs. A close button becomes visible once I select a tab, but unselected tabs cannot be closed unless they are first selected. The end result is if I want to close a tab I first have to select it.

Simple version: I want to have a close button visible on ALL tabs at ALL times.

I have tried using the browser.tabs.closeButtons option, but no value 0,1,2, or 3 seems to be getting the job done (default was 1 when I first opened the file)

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Did you restart Firefox after changing that preference value?

Are you using the Default Theme?

If you have a lot of tabs opened then you only get a close button on the active tab (same as browser.tabs.closeButtons = 0)
