I accidentally closed a tab when I was trying to stop a page from loading because they are both represented by X's. Can you change the "Stop Loading" symbol to a "No-sign" (⃠). This would be greatly appreciated and can prevent future confusion and frustration.

Chosen solution

Make sure that you click the X Stop button on the Navigation Toolbar and not a close X on another toolbar like the Tab bar.

You can hide close button(s) on the tab bar and instead middle-click a tab to close the tab.
