Obsolete

This preference will be removed in Firefox 21. An Add-on restoring its functionality is Classic Theme Restorer. An add-on restoring the behavior of value=2 only is No Close Buttons.

Background

Firefox 2.0 introduced a number of refinements to its tabbed browsing UI. Among them was the addition of close buttons on tabs. This preference controls how they can be displayed on tabs.

Possible values and their effects

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)

Caveats

  • This preference does not exist by default in builds earlier than 2.0rc1.
