FF 2.0 Pros:
* Better memory handling
* Less app failure due to malformed JavaScript or Java
* Better tools integration
Cons:
* hated the scrolling tabs
And just because of that one thing, I switched back to 1.5. So after doing some reading I thought I would share some FF 2.0 modding that deals with this.
Adjust the Tab Widths
--------------------------
The tabMinWidth option is the minimum width of the tab before the tabs start to scroll. The tabClipWidth is the minimum size a tab must be in order to display the Red "X" that is used to close the tab.
If you don't want the red 'X' to appear at all, you will modify it in the next set of instructions. And if you remove the 'X' then you can set the browser.tabs.tabClipWidth to '0' (zero)
Adjust the Red X [Close button]
--------------------------
There are multiple options that you can do now:
* display a close button on the active tab only,
* display close buttons on all tabs,
* don?t display any close buttons,
* display a single close button at the end of the tab strip (Firefox 1.x behavior).
Here is how you can customize the placement:
Restart the browser just for the old timey voodoo to set it right.
