No close tab button
As per my heading, I would definitely like to see this (it's in FF) as I do a lot of forum work and sometime am dealing with many open tabs.

Re: No close tab button
Type about:config in the Location (address) bar.
Filter for browser.tabs.closeButtons
Right-click or double-left-click this preference and Modify the Value to say either 2 or 0
0 = Close button only on the active tab
1 = Close buttons on each tab (default)
2 = No tab close buttons (use Middle-click or Ctrl+w or right-click tab to close)
3 = Close button at the end of the row of tabs (Firefox 1.0 and earlier style)

That doesn't work for me. I seem to recall previous threads said it was inoperative in SM browser.
This does work for me: http://tom-cat.com/mozilla/seamonkey/extensions-seatabx.html.

Re: No close tab button
You can middle-click on a tab to close it without the button.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Hmm could have sworn this was in a Firefox section... otherwise I would not have posted that.

Re: No close tab button
There is a close tab button. Just not on every tab.
In any case, viewtopic.php?p=12206537#p12206537.
In addition to middle-click, there is also Ctrl+W.

Re: No close tab button
I have just downloaded Sea Tab X and in does exactly what I want. Thanks.
I must say that I find it unusual that such a long-time feature has been dropped from the core version of Sea Monkey.

Re: No close tab button
SeaMonkey, or the Mozilla Suite before it, has never had individual tab closers TMK, just the one at the end of the tab strip. Individual tab closers did not come to Firefox until version 2.0, about 6 years ago.

Re: No close tab button
Until I started using SeaTabX I always right clicked on the tab to close it. I never liked the single close X at the end of the tab line.
I'm sure some people would complain if there was a clos X on every tab. The right thing to do is make it a Tab settings option.

I would, I hate it.

If, when fully implemented in SeaMonkey, the options James pointed out would then work.

Re: No close tab button
The close button would occupy some vital real estateI'm sure some people would complain if there was a close X on every tab.
One more up vote for this featureThe right thing to do is make it a Tab settings option.

Re: No close tab button
A close button on every tab is unnecessary. Middle click any tab, and it closes. SeaTabX is a pointless add-on.

Pointless only if you don't use or like it. I happen to do both.
