I can live with the close button being on the right, but I strongly prefer the way Safari does it. I accidentally close more than one tab fairly frequently, and while I know and love the "History -> Recently Closed Tabs" workaround in Firefox, it is a workaround for the bad UI of having a close button I don't want to press pop up right under the close button I'm clicking on. I'm not the most dexterous person (to put it mildly), and further punishing my klutziness by requiring precision work with the mouse is not my idea of a good UI.
- chronomex 17y agoControl-Shift-T will reopen the most recently closed tab in Firefox (the equivalent command in Opera is Control-Z).

- vitobcn 17y agoBoth Firefox and Chrome let you right click on any tab after closing another one and reverse that action ( FF: "Undo close tab", Chrome: "Reopen closed tab").
- dejan 17y agoI agree, happens to me all the time. The problem is that destroying a tab doesn't happen instantly, and you click again and again. Since the click is buffered, it will apply the action after the tab is closed. Safari feels much more thought out I have to say, but the feature/bug mentioned here seems just a result of full space tabs while in FFox/Chrome they are acting as fixed width. Rule of UI: count on and compensate for human errors and behaviour. Safari wins there for me (UI wise).
