Not exactly the same as how you do it with chrome, but equally functional.

Ah, I remember TabMix+ from way back in the early days of FF. Didn't know it was still around. I've installed it and yes, this is an acceptable compromise. IIRC, FF used to have that X standard, but it dissapeared when FF 2 was released.

Also, you can just press Ctrl-W to close the currently active tab. No need to dick with a GUI at all.


Thanks for the tip. This works nicely.
Also, you can click on the tab, anywhere on the tab, with the middle mouse button and it'll close too. It's just that I don't like to click with my mouse scroll wheel. It's hard to do and the scroll wheel is too easily scrolled instead of clicked.
