User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3 The Close Tab button used to be available in the far right side of the tab menu, and now it's on the tabs themselves. This is sometimes useful, but most of the time is not. I used to be able to click-click-click to close several unneeded tabs fast, now I have to aim for the separate close buttons every time. This especially comes up when viewing multiple listings on ebay, reading multiple slashdot stories, looking through multiple results on google -- you name it. I know there is a Close Other Tab feature, but most of the time I need to leave more than one tab open. Speed clicking a button that's in one place seemed to be the fastest way for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open 20 tabs. 2.Close 18 of them very quickly. (You can't without keyboard shortcuts, etc.) 3.Compare to closing them by clicking one button in the same place (much quicker) Actual Results: Slow tab closing. Expected Results: Fast tab closing. I think that the Close Tab button should be available on the tabs, but also where it was previously -- in the far right location of the tab bar. Or, it could be made available as an optional item from the Customize Toolbar menu, and then it could be placed wherever the user wants it. I really don't mean to whine (too much), but I always preferred the old style firefox tab closing to what it was in other browsers -- operas, etc. So now that it's changed it feels like a step back. So it would be nice to have a UI function I liked not go away.
I was just thinking about this earlier. It's probably a DUPE, though. :/

You can use the "Tab No X" extension to revert to the previous behavior. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1919/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 324227 ***
