Firefox tabs?

For no apparent reason, my firefox tabs no longer have the "x" on the tab itself. It now appears in the far right corner. Any idea how to change it back?

    - In your address bar type "about:config" and hit enter.

    - In the filter type "browser.tabs.closeButtons"

    - Double click the value that pops up, and change the value to "1"

    The other values you can choose from are:

    0 - Display a close on the active tab only

    2 - Don’t display any close buttons

    3 - Display a single close button

    You could try installing Tab Mix Plus, this will give you many tab-related options. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/112...

    close some tabs because if you open too many tabs the x will disappear.

    also to close tabs you can press Ctrl+W to close 1 tab.

    That IS strange. It's as if you installed an old version of Firefox, because that's how it used to be. What version are you using?

    hmm..

    only question that pops into my head is to ask if your firefox window is maximized (full screen)? thats the only instance i can think of off the top of my head that might cause that

    Type in ABOUT:CONFIG.

    Find the entry "browser.tabs.closeButtons" and make sure the value is 1.
