How can I remove the "x" from each tab and make it so a single "right-click" will close the tab instead?

The one feature I use to love about CoolNovo was the ability to Right click a tab to close it, and hide the X button from each tab. I couldn't find any add-ons that did this. I do know how to customize my userChrome.css file, what could I put inside to make these things a feature?

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.tab-close-button { display:none!important; }

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Close Tab by Double Click {web link} Allows you to close tabs by double-clicking using the right mouse button.

Rights To Close {web link} Right double-click anywhere on web page to close current tab.

You normally click the mouse wheel to close a tab and leave the right mouse button for the context menu.
