Only because I have configured all my profiles to have only one tab close
button instead of many. That way the close button only moves when I move the
right side of the browser window, and never because I switched tabs, opened a
new tab or closed a tab. Also, accidental tab closings from clicking rarely
happen when there is no close button on each tab. Those of us with marginal
mouse motor skills depend on large and clear targets for clicking, the space
for which is reduced by close buttons. Some with many tabs open would rather
more title letters than lots of close buttons. To me, close buttons on every
tab are little but visual litter.
