How do I restore the "close tab" button to the END of the tab bar?
Up until FF31, I used to have the following setting configured which moved the little 'X' button that closed tabs off of the tabs themselvs and onto the far right of the tab bar.
browser.tabs.closeButtons; User Set; Integer; 3
No, this no longer works. It has still moved the close buttons back to the tab buttons. Until I can figure out how to fix this, I will be moving back to a previous version. I can't for the life of me see why this feature was removed, other than Mozilla's seemingly arrogant insistence that it knows what people want better than they do.

Hello Alfador,
I'm really sorry that this functionality has been removed from Firefox. I strongly agree with you when you say that Mozilla's seemingly arrogant insistence that it knows what people want better than they do. I think we made a mistake(personal opinion) nevertheless don't get disheartened and Mozilla does listen to its users(you all are not customers but we have a relation which is beyond ) . I will try to give your feedback to the team and they would be reading your feedback. Read this for more information. I'm utterly sorry.
Have a good day.

The first addon on your list seems to have done the trick now. Thank you.
(Please note though that I still insist that having to rely on such an addon that may stop being updated at any time should still not have been necessary, since there is really no logical or valid reason for this change)
