To get back the old (and better) style of tabs with one close button on the far right, type "about:config" in your address bar and press enter.

Scroll down to "browser.tabs.closeButtons" and change the value from 1 to 3.

You're done!

I love the way cleaning up the option screens makes it so much easier to use!

(Thanks, by the way, it was appreciated!)

thanks for the info (I've been useing the 2.0 betas at home and this has annoyed me to no end)

however, if you hadn't posted this, how could I have found out the meaning of these different values? (other then wadeing into the source)

When looking around the web for more information about this, I found a recent blog post called Firefox config tweaks which documents this, and more. Read the comments as well because there are some additions and corrections there.
