They removed browser.tabs.closeButtons. It's now impossible to hide the close buttons without css fiddling. I don't get it. What benefit is there to removing that feature? Same with clearing the download list. They removed that feature with the last major UI overhaul. The number of tiny addons I have to install just to get features back that have been removed for no reason at all is starting to get too large...

Aw, crap. Do you know the CSS offhand? I already have to use some user CSS because they removed the ability to set the tab min width via `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth`, because that property wasn't "worth it" according to one developer. Edit: Turns out Classic Theme Restorer has an option for that.

  This CSS should do the trick: .tab-close-button { visibility: collapse !important; } Or addons.

  >tab min width That is a nightmare to set now if you want tabs to go below about 40 pixels, thanks to the Australis swoops. It used to be one line of CSS to set min width to 0-ish, now I have a giant blob of custom CSS on top of Classic Theme Restorer.

  "These would be better supported and more discoverable if they were implemented by an add-on." Better support but not by Firefox and more discoverable, but not in Firefox...
