Firefox extension that will allow Chrome-like tab closing for Firefox 3?

Question

This is the behavior I'm talking about. It's coming to Firefox 4, but is there an extension that will give this functionality to 3.6?

Answer 1

I don't think you can have the exact same behavior in FF 3.

But if you want the close button to always be at the same spot, you can use the add-on Close Button:

Adds a Close Tab (or Window, or Browser) button to the toolbar, so you can put it where you want it.

Another useful add-on is Multiple Tab Handler to close multiple tabs with one click.

Answer 2

Also, you can middle click anywhere in a tab to close it. That works in just about everything thing with tabs. (FF, Chrome, notepad ++) I find this just as easy, no need to hit just a small "x", click the tab.

If you are on a laptop clicking both mouse buttons will do the same.
