The new version of firefox handles the tab close buttons differently than version 1.5. To change back to a single close button is not very difficult at all. Here is how to change the method for closing tabs.

1. Type about:config in the address bar

2. Change browser.tabs.closeButtons to the value you wish.

    0 - Display close button only on the active tab
    1 - Display close buttons on every tabs
    2 - Never display close buttons
    3 - Display single close button at the end of the tab strip (This is the old, default Firefox 1.5 behavior)

If browser.tabs.closeButtons does not exist, you can create it. Right-click the page and select New and then Integer
