Firefox 2.0: Change the close button

The latest version of Firefox now defaults to having a close button on every tab just like Opera. If you don’t like it, or just want to change it, here’s how.

  1. Type about:config into the address bar.
  2. In the Filter: field, type browser.tabs.closebutton.
  3. Change the integer value to:
    • 0 - Close button on active tab only.
    • 1 - Close button on all tabs (default).
    • 2 - No close button. Must use middle-click, Ctrl+W or File -> Close Tab.
    • 3 - Close button on far right of tab bar (Firefox 1.5 style).

Changes take effect immediately.
