Firefox 57 and later do not support any API to make this extension work. If you prefer your browser tabs without close buttons, you can make it work by adding a custom userChrome.css file to your Firefox profile:

  1. Find your profile folder
  1. Create a directory called chrome inside it if one does not already exist
  1. Create a file named userChrome.css in the new directory
  1. Add the following CSS code to it:
   @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
   .tab-close-button { display: none !important; }
  1. Restart Firefox

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.


  • create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • use a plain text editor (Mac: Textedit; Windows: Notepad) to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
  • make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line

I was able to do this .. But it is not working .. The userChrome.css file has a Safari symbol .. I got info and changed the open with Safari to Firefox ..

userChrome.css get info says: Kind: Text Document Where: /Users/Adele/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/********.default/chrome (I made the stars) Name and Extension: userChrome.css Open with: Firefox

I still have the X close tab button showing on all tabs :(
