What about:config seting removes the close button from blank tabs only?

I actually need to reverse this change, but I cannot find the setting again. My home page and new tab page are about:blank using the FastDial extension, and I changed a config setting to remove the close button from blank tabs, then found that it wasn't so convenient on the new tab pages, now I cannot find the setting, searching for "newtab," "blanktab," "closebutton," "button," tab," etc.

Perhaps you have a Tabs related extension installed in Tools->Addons->Extensions ?

The preference is browser.tabs.closeButtons and right-click it and select Reset to set it back to 1 which is close buttons on each tab (default).

That setting was actually still on 1, it hadn't been altered.

Correct, it turns out to be the Tab Utilities extension. Thank you very much.

I should mention, it's one of Tab Utilities "hidden" features, which can only be changed in about:config. I knew it was in about:config somewhere. Thanks for setting me on the right track.
