Thank you all for your considered comments and suggestions, from which I can see that I failed to explain myself adequately, so apologies there.
What I want to be able to do is to ‘lock’ the tabs I open so that they cannot be closed with out first being ‘unlocked’. Perhaps a little padlock icon that would replace the ‘X’ when locked - similar to programs that use ‘layers’, like Photoshop for example. In this way one would be unable to accidentality close a tab and perhaps lose settings.
