Feature request: add close buttons in all the tabs

Could you add some mock how this should look like? I'm not sure that I understand what you'd like to achieve.

I have tested with firefox-esr 91.4.0esr-1 (mobian pinephone)

current behavior:

with two tabs:

I see two close buttons (the expected)

with three or more tabs:

I see only one close button, the feature request is close button in all the tabs.

EDIT: in PC we can close tabs with middle click with mouse, but in mobile we can't do the same, for this reason it would be nice the close button in all the tabs

I understand.

I believe that the issue is invalid with the latest mobile-config-firefox version 3.0.0rc1 because it will only show one tab. See https://fosstodon.org/interact/107394750533689867

ah, thanks for the info, I didn't test 3.0.0 yet

@plata-gl the issue is still relevant: though the tab bar behaves differently in 3+, there is still no easy ways to close tabs other than the active one

I believe we need an addon to solve the tab related issues properly. Something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/all-tabs-helper/ or improve #7 (closed).

@plata-gl wouldn't adding something similar to this CSS into tabMenu.css be sufficient?

good news, I fixed the problem with:

.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button{
  display:-moz-box !important;
}

inside userChrome.css

NOTE: it works in 2.2.0, I didn't test it in 3.0.0

It doesn't work with 3.0.0. That's using the allTabsMenu. I checked but I couldn't find a (hidden) close button there.

Yeah, it does not seem to be possible with allTabsMenu: the toolbarbutton element there only contains the preview icon image and the label, whereas normal tabs have an additional image element that contains the close image:

<image xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul" class="tab-close-button close-icon" role="presentation" fadein="true"/>

I guess possibilities are either to try to upstream this and add the image element to the tab list (might be appreciated since this seems to be associated to long standing issues but I don't know how to do it) or to move back to the normal tabs?
