In firefox 3, you had a way of defining parameters by changing the file Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\firefox.js.

I allways set pref("browser.tabs.tabMinWidth", 20); pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 3); pref("browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent", false); as this is how I like to work (I sometimes open LOTS of tabs to search for something)

How do I do this in firefox 4 ? I have searched, but cant find an answer

I reinstalled 3.6.15 at once, when I couldnt find the answer and plan to stay on 3.6 until I can get this to work.

Otherwise firefox is brilliant, keep up the good work.

The prefs browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth are no longer supported in Firefox 4. You now need to use code in userChrome.css
