How to get rid off the red 'x' button on Firefox's tab bar?

[screw3d]

I know Tabbrowser Extensions can do this but there are issues with it that I won't touch.

Is there a tweak/extension somewhere that does this?

Do you have multiple tabs opened?

If not, go to tools -> options -> advanced

and check next to browsing -> hide tab bar when only one website is open.

I'm not trying to hide the bar.. just the red 'x' button on the right of the tab bar 🙂

I always click on it accidentally, especially when the tab bar is full.

So don't do that. 😉

Seriously, you should learn the keyboard accelerators. Much faster IMO. Ctrl-Tab to move through the tabs, Ctrl-W to close the active tab (or active window), and Ctrl-T to open a new tab. No mousing required, and no worries about the little red box! 🙂

It's his decision.

So don't do that.

That's not solving his problem. He wants to use the mouse, and it's annoying him.



The best way to do this is to edit userchrome.css (in the chrome directory of your profile folder - create it if it doesn't exist - note this is userchrome.css and not usercontent)... add:

.tabs-closebutton {display:none !important}

I already know these shortcuts and do use them.. it's just that when the red button and the tabs are just like milimeters apart, sh1t does happen 😀
