Fixing Firefox 2.0
Posted by bundrick on November 7, 2006
Over at some blog I’d never heard of before, some blogger I don’t know explains how to fix one of the “improvements” of Firefox 2.0. To get back to a single close tabs button instead of one for each tab, do the following:
In the address box type about:config and press enter
Scroll down to where it says browser.tabs.closeButtons and change the value to one of the following:
* 0 – Close button on open tab only (what I’m using now)
* 1 – Close buttons on all tabs (default)
* 2 – No close buttons at all (use middle click to close tabs)
* 3 – Close button on the far right (old school)
Please note that upgrading to Firefox 2.0 also broke another of my settings. To force javascript links to open in a new tab instead of a new window, set this variable in about:config to zero:
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
This forces haloscan comments to open in a new tab.
