Is there anyway to get rid of the little red x on the right of each tab? I often find myself accidentally clicking it when I really just want to select the tab not close it. Obviously I have the tabmixplus extension installed so I can just right click and be like undo clse tab but still, that takes valuable seconds and I'm not about wasting time, I'm about epic win. Any help appreciated.

Works fine for me with Firefox 2.0.0.11. Which version are you using? What is the default value?
For me 1 is default, each tab has its own X. With 0, only the active tab has an X and with values 2 or greater, no tabs have an X.

I'm using the same version, 1 is also the default value for me. I tried changing it to both 0 and 2 and then restarting firefox but the Xs are still there..

O you have tabmixplus installed? maybe that changes things. Seems unlikely though.

No I don't have that. I'd guess that's probably the cause since it messes with the tabs. Maybe there's another way to do it with the extension installed...

You know vanilla Firefox has a menu where you can reopen recently closed tabs as well, right? It's under History.
On most browsers, you can bring up your browsing history by pressing Control-H. (No, this is not going to become a discussion of werecows.) On Firefox, this brings up a sidebar that shows up on the left side of the window. If you put your mouse over the edge of the sidebar, the cursor will turn into a different kind of arrow. By clicking and dragging it, you can move the edge of the sidebar back and forth. You are, to put it another way, manipulating the border between the normal window and the history window. By moving the mouse, you can increase the portion of the window devoted to either part. In a more extreme view of this situation, you're increasing or decreasing the amount of existence the sidebar has.
Now, let's apply this idea to something more abstract. Look out your window. If you don't live in a highly urbanized area, you should be able to see the horizon. Think of this as the border between the land and the sky. The land and sky are obviously distinguishable thanks to this boundary. Now, if you were to "drag" the sash between the sky and the land, or to manipulate the border between land and sky, you would end up causing the sky to become larger and the land to become smaller, or vice versa. An effect of this might be to cause something that was just on the ground to suddenly be hundreds of feet in the air. Truly a frightening situation to be in. So, look at it this way - manipulating the border between two physical things shifts whatever balance there is in the interaction between those things. Alternatively, by manipulating the border between two things, you can change the manner in which they exist.
Still, this isn't *that* abstract, since it's still dealing with real things in the real world. Many believe that in this world, there are those things that are true, and those that obviously aren't. This divides reality into two extremes: truth and falsehood. But, since we have two extremes, logically one can imagine a boundary between those two extremes - the border between truth and lies. If one were to manipulate this border, suddenly things that were pure fantasy (flying pigs, for the sake of argument) have become reality - or things from reality have ceased to exist. This is how Yukari is said to have invaded the moon - by manipulating the border between truth and lies, as applied to the reflection of the moon on a pond, she was able to make the reflection of the moon into a manifestation of the actual moon, and so send her youkai army onto it. This is what's truly amazing about Yukari's power - the ability to manipulate the border between completely abstract concepts allows her to fundamentally change reality as we know it (at least in terms of two abstract concepts).

rightclick the tab bar and select 'Undo close tab'
