Firefox 2 stopped me using firfox full time.


FF 1.5 had a neat default Tab closure button which was always in the same position and closed the visible tab. this made opening loads of Tabs and browsing through to close them simple with no distractions.
FF2 changed this default behaviour but does not incorporate a simple checkbox reversion. I and many others found that the wrong windows were being closed which then led to thought process interuption whilst checking the right tab was being closed. The damage was done and with no time and thought benefit I moved on as advised by the Firefox support forums.
