It's been part of Firefox since 2.0. Here's a screencast: 
<http://ilias.ca/screencasts/fx-tabclip.webm>. Notice that after I open 
a 6th tab, the close button disappears on background tabs.

If you set the preference browser.tabs.tabClipWidth to 0 and restart 
Firefox, the close buttons should stay.
