'Close Tab' button

[Derfram]

FIrefox 74.0. Is there a config edit (or an add-on) that disables the close button on tabs not in focus? I would like tabs not being viewed to be protected from being closed.

You can use code in userChrome.css to hide the close button on not selected tabs

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* tab close button on selected tab */
.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected]) .tab-close-button { display: none !important; }

You need to set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.

The add-on called TMP (Tab Mix Plus) used to do that but it is not compatible with Quantum Firefox. The author has released a new version called "Tab Mix Links" but many of the old features are completely missing. Have you looked in the Mozilla add-on store to see what's available? If nothing is of interest to you, you may need to write your own custom CSS code for such a feature.
