    firefox 3.5.4pre tabs

    Did they just move the "close tab" button to the right corner?
    And remove it from the tab itself? Anyway to fix this?

    Re: firefox 3.5.4pre tabs

    I have mine modified anyway but to fix read this:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.tabs.closeButtons
    change the settings to what you want
    open about:config
    edit the settings browser.tabs.closeButtons
    0 Display a close button on the active tab only
    1 Display close buttons on all tabs (Default)
    2 Don’t display any close buttons
    3 Display a single close button at the end of the tab strip (Firefox 1.x behavior)

    Looks normal to me. Are you sure you're just not doing something right?

    Maybe it's your theme? Do you have a custom Firefox theme installed?

    You can still middle-click on the tab or hit ctrl-W.

    But if you really want the buttons, try it with a different theme as someone else suggested.

    Start firefox in safe mode (don't reset anything just run it in safe mode to see if it still happens)
    Code:
    firefox -safe-mode
    btw if 1 behaves like 3 what happens if you set other numbers.
    If nobody else is seeing this i suspect something has modified your chrome, this is probably a theme but it may be something in your chrome folder
    what files are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile name>/chrome/

    I found the problem.. it was the "Tab mix plus" extension that had been reset or at least set to remove the close-button. Thanks for all the help
