344182 - Options for browser.tabs.closeButtons in the preferences UI

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Ventnor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

I have read many people complain about how Firefox 2 has close buttons on each tab rather than at the far right ala Firefox 1.x. Of course, there is the browser.tabs.closeButtons option in about:config however this option takes an integer and is quite inconvenient for people not used to about:config. I reckon it would be a good idea to include a set of options in the preferences UI enabling people to change this option without hassle.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the preferences.
2. There is no option to change tab close button behaviour.
Actual Results:  
Users must go to about:config to change this.

Expected Results:  
Users should have an option in the preferences UI.

There won't be UI for this, see discussion in bug 324227.
