FF 29 (Australis) tab closing
-
Is there any way to adjust how quickly the new tab bar repositions remaining tabs as others are being closed? In older versions of FF I could place my cursor over the leftmost of a set of sequential tabs I wanted to close and just click away with the middle button until they were all gone because the tab bar wouldn't move anything until I moved my cursor away. In the new version the tabbar resets itself much faster and I'll often find myself closing a tab I wanted to keep open because I wasn't quite fast enough and the remaining tabs zoomed back to the right to fill everything up again. And while it's faster than the old version was if I start with the right most tab, it's still slower than the speed at which I can click, which combined the fact that a middle click in the empty space where a tab was restores a just closed one is equally maddening.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Not sure if you can do it while keeping the Australis tabs, but you can use an addon to change the tabs back to the older style, which behaves in the way you are used to. You can also right-click on a tab and select Close Tabs to the Right.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

I do use classic theme restorer with FF29; but it only changes the look of the Australis tabs. The middle click functionality (and several other idiosyncrasies) are still the new behavior not the old.

How about this method: Find the first tab you want to keep from the right and from the right-click context menu select "Close tabs to the right"
That only works if I want to close *all* the tabs to the right, instead of just some of them. EDIT: Also I don't appear to have that menu item.

Strange. I get the old behaviour.

Hmmmm. I'm using CTR 1.1.8, are you using something newer? IF not, I'm guessing we've got a different set of cryptic options selected.... Edit: Playing around a bit more, it appears that my problem is being caused when I'm fast enough to middle click on the empty tab-bar space before the tab close animation completes. Disabling that (on CTR's Special 2 tab) appears to've fixed the problem.
