To carry the argument for the current state further * The "little X" is about the same size as the X in the upper-right corner for terminating SeaMonkey. If you place your cursor over the tab bar X (don't selected it, just "mouse over"), however, you will see that its button is larger than the box around the X in the upper-right corner. * With many, many tabs open and with a X on each to close it, you create the risk of closing a tab when you really meant to select the adjacent tab. Yes, the current tab -- the tab that has focus -- needs better distinction. But the use of the "little X" at the right end of the tab bar to close the current tab is something with which I am quite comfortable. -- David E.
