Option to not have buttons on tabs

[ziv]

I am using MacOS (work laptop) and GNOME (personal laptop) and both environment use a top menu.  For this reason I find it hard to use the tabs at the top and recently discovered the vertical tabs option which is awesome.  The only issue is that it takes more space so I set it to the narrowest possible.  This is great except that, since the tabs are now very small, I find it very easy to accidentally click on the close ("X") or the mute button.  I do not need these buttons at all as I just use the (ctrl/cmd)+w or mouse middle click.  I already closed some tabs like that by accident.  Sometime these could be easily re-opened but sometimes can loose the data that was already filled up and need to start over.  Please please please, provide an option to not have floating/hidden buttons on the tabs so I will not have to reload accidentally closed websites and a redo my work again.

Thank you for the great for Firefox, Thunderbird and Rust!

Maybe.

If you wish to test an code userChrome.css

#tabbrowser-tabs[orient="vertical"] {
.tab-icon-overlay{display:none!important;}
.tab-close-button{display:none!important;}
}

Thank you @Agentvirtuel!
In general, I am trying not to mess with `userChrome.css` so trying not mess with it.  However, I'll give it a try for now.  Hopefully in the future this will be an official option as it seems like this is useful.  Even an `about:config` flag will be good enough 😊
