http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons show how to rule close button - so a value of 3 will be "(Firefox 1.x behavior)".-dk70 (October 18, 2006, 12:53 PM)

didn't find that very clear -

does anyone know which file I'm supposed to edit -
is it:
userchrome.css
usercontent.css
user.js
config.xml ??

or is it something else -
I couldnt find "browser.tabs.closeButtons." in any of those files
maybe I'm supposed to add it myself,
as i say, not very clear to me from that link - any further advice would be mucho appreciated  :)

dk70:
See, easy for those used to this. Confusing for others.
Use about:config as url, rightclick, select new INTEGER, type in browser.tabs.closeButtons add value as you wish.

A better way is to throw such mini-hacks into user.js file. Place it in root folder of profile. That way you know what you have modified and can go back and forth easy. Here is my close button entry.

user_pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 0);

Knowledgebase is really good to know http://kb.mozillazine.org/Knowledge_Base For example about profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder

tomos:
thanks for your help dk70  :up:

unfortunately
neither worked for me -
the about:config one didnt work, but then I couldnt erase it so tried the other too -

I'm going off to sleep now & might try again another day,
but think I may have some quality that causes things to function not as expected - when it comes to modifying programme files at any rate .. :-\

I have TabMixPlus installed anyways so theres no problem with space  :)

dk70:
Oh I missed you have TMP. It takes control over close button - Display, Tab, Show section.

Only "hacking" Ive needed with TMP is to increase coloring of tabs. You can look up code at their forum for more, ie. for a "Proteted" tab.
