Firefox 2: Get back the Close button

[nirubhai]

i don't know whether this is already posted...
somehow the forum search gives the same result for anything i search
anyway...


in firefox 1.5 i guess there was option to change location of tab close button. preferably most users had it at the extreme right end of tabstrip. a comfortable location...
firefox 2 gives no such options and that button appears on every tab... this causes accidental tab close many times.

here is way to chage location of tab close button,

in addressbar type about:config and press Enter
it will list all options you can configure in ff
double click on the property browser.tabs.closeButtons
change its value to 3

and you are done!
