Double-click to close the tab

[GavinCQTD]

Is it possible to implement a double-click on a tab in the tab bar to close it, like in Edge?

Hello

Of course, it's not the answer expected.
Nevertheless, if you wish to try Tab Mix Plus https://github.com/onemen/TabMixPlus

There are also these add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=double click close

And you should be able to close tabs by pressing the mouse wheel.

I find a config item: browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick. It's useful and not need any addon.

Cool - I forgot about that one! But why would you need that if the X to close is there? Oh yeah, sometimes it disappears when many tabs are open. CSS can make it appear all the time.

For me, the X is too small for me to click on it fast enough. I switched from Edge to firefox and Edge's double click off is probably more familiar to me.

This additional information for those who are interested.

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick

// Tabbed browser
pref("browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick", false);

Even though I like the comment from:

1. open firefox.exe:

2. open about:config

browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick

set the value to true

I always close tab or browser using:

Ctrl w

for many years.
