I got updated to Firefox 6.0 and i must say it is amazing but i was concern with the tab closing you have got rid of the 'x' that closes the tab i do find this quite annoying and this is the first time i have asked a question and i have been along time Firefox user for nearly all my life. Is there a way to get this back or an update to fix this so for now ill have to just do with Right-Clicking and clicking close tab

Type about:config into the url bar. Then type "browser.tabs.closeButtons" into the search bar. Make sure the integer setting is set to "1". If not, right click the setting and select "Modify" Enter 1. Check out the screenshot below.
