344799 - I am required to click the [X] on dynamically sized tabs for each tab that I wish to close, or change focus and right-click each site tab.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 324227

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[ppoteete]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

It is difficult to close websites during research projects.  The Firefox 2 beta requires me to click the X on [dynamically] sized tabs for [each] tab that I wish to close, or change focus and right-click the site tab.

In the past (Firefox 1.5), I could close tab after tab by clicking to the far right portion of the tab bar.  This was very good, as I could surf a site, open numerous tabs during my research, and then close each tab subsequently as the site proved to not meet my needs.  Very fast, very efficient.  Please give me an option to use the 1.5-type [X] in the far right bar location.

I absolutely love your product.  I believe that the skill and mastery that this development team has exhibited conveys to the world that open source software is a viable solution for the enterprise.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs




Expected Results:  
The 1.5-type [X] would be in the far right bar location, not on each individual site, requiring me to "right-click" or "change focus" to close a tab.
