I can't remove 1 of the buttons. The one to close tabs.

I navigate the hole browser by mouse buttons and mouse movements (extension:
mouse gestures) but the toolbars still show me one useless button.

see screenshot, marked green. actually I wanted to mark it red but then will I
was doing I found something other stupid that has nothing to do with this bug
;-) So dont care about the red mark.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a few pages as tabs
2. right click next to your menu and click customize
3. try to remove the "close-tab" button. but dont try too long, you won't manage
to remove it. that's the bug

Actual Results:  
nothing!

Expected Results:  
button should be removed

ummm...where can I upload the screenshot? whatever, check it out here:

The close button on the tab bar is no toolbar button and therefore it can't be
customized.

Not a bug -> INVALID

I don't care if you call it part of the toolbar or part of the tabs. The point
is, I can't remove it.

We're not doing tab bar customization, this is by design and the bug is INVALID.
 There's a userChrome.css hack you can use to remove it

see http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#css for where to put this.

/* Remove the close button on the tab bar */ 
.tabs-closebutton-box { 
   display: none !important; 
}

@mike: thanks, removing worked.

Verifying again. Don't reopen bugs, unless you have a *very good* reason.
Everything else is abuse and will not be tolerated.

Simon how about answering my question instead of telling what not to do?!
