    For those who want the old behavior back: 1. Go to about:config 2. Change the value of browser.tabs.closeButtons[^] to 3 (if you want the close button to go away entirely, change it to 2) Sweet! :) Sorry if this is a repost. I just found this out.

      Thanks for the info! I'm always clicking in the "old corner" and say WTF to myself whenever I see a list of my open tabs... Wondering now if I should relearn (since having the X in every tab has its advantages) or just switch it back... Cheers Martin

        You can also click with the middle button on a tab in order to close it. Does not work in Linux though, unless you tweak the config.

              1 or 3 is 3 which doesn't give me close buttons on all tabs and on the right.

                      Which should be on the left to allow selection of tabs. Heh, I will just re-enable mouse gestures they are better neways.

                        Yes. No matter where you click, something should close.
