Firefox 2.0 close button

Just a quick one today!

One of the things that annoyed me in Firefox 2.0 (other than the fact that it seems about three times slower than 1.5) is that the close button is now located on the tabs, instead of where it was (to the right).

Here's how to revert back to Firefox 1.5 behaviour:
Type about:config in the address bar, and find browser.tabs.closeButtons (the filter is your friend).

closeButtons accepts any of three values:

  • 1 (default) - Close button on all tabs
  • 2 - No close button
  • 3 - Revert to Firefox 1.5 behaviour

Awesome! That was annoying the crap out of me too :-)
