Firefox 2.0

Yup, it's working for quick reply as well. Even quick edit.

ETA: double checking quick edit

Yet another test. Last one, I promise.

It always had that. Or at least the 1.whatever version I have been using has it.

In 1.x, that was only available if you installed an extension that added it. That was not part of the standard Firefox configuration until 2.0.

I've never installed any extensions - just the basic vanilla Firefox

Then you ended up with an add-on without realizing it or a non-standard build. The close button on tabs definitely was not a default feature prior to 2.x. Searching for that functionality is what introduced me to Tab Mix Plus, my favorite tab management add on.

By the way, I'm reading about a lot of people who don't like having the close tab button on each tab (I don't know why; I love being able to close a tab without making it active). If you don't like it, you can change it:

go to about:config
Filter for browser.tabs.closeButtons

The default setting is 1. Change it to any of these:

0 - Close button on active tab only
1 - Close button on all tabs
2 - No close buttons at all
3 - No close button on tabs but one close button at the far right on the tab row (which, when clicked, closes the active tab).


3 mimics the default (and only native) behavior for 1.x.

I've got Firefox 1.5.0.8, have never added add-ons, and have always had close buttons on my tabs too!

Oh, good. Count me among not liking it. Within minutes of installing 2.0, I accidentally clicked the close button when trying to switch tabs. Middle click closes a tab without making it active, that works perfectly fine for me.
