IMHO, fb needs an option to display the close box in individual tabs, like tbe
offers. It's a pain in the posterior region to have to install about 20
extentions when I do a new install of fb for someone. Also, even TBE doesent
provide an option to restore the new tab button on the left side of tab bar like
seamonkey has. (If im wrong, PLEASE tell me where it is!) It gets annoying to
have to double click in the little space between the last tab and the close box
on the right end of the bar when I want to open a new tab after the bar fills up.

Ok, I admit I didn't catch bug 177500, but this one also asks for a "new tab"
butto on the left side of the tabbar. This can't be done with TBE.

P.S., on second review, bug 220493 (another dupe of 177500) requested this
feature too.  Comment #1 on it is a nice reprimand to n00bs like me. But you
could have marked a it dupe of that, or, if that wasnt possible, included a link
in your comment. Anyhow, can't see how I missed those other several bugs in my
search... Sorry for wasting your time.

LOL, on second (or third?) check I noticed that I had already submitted this in
bug 227115. I've learned my lesson, I'll leave the bug reports to people with a
better memory than me. Back to coding, I guess...
