Each tab now has a close button on it. Dunno what else is new.

I'll have to try this out but I don't know if it's the Tabbrowser Preferences extension I have or what but my tabs have a close button. Or I could just hit ctrl+W to close a tab if I'm too lazy to use the mouse.

or you can middle-click on the tab!

i installed IE7 beta a few weeks ago, what a piece of crap!. Talk about totally ripping off firefox. I even had to force it to be uninstalled. Its shame that MS can't come up with their own ideas instead of stealing others

long live firefox!

I have middle-click set to open links in a new tab.

I have middle-click set to open links in a new tab.

Even when you use it on the tab selection bar?

Hollowmind

Ok so yeah middle-click also closes the tab when I use it directly on the tab.

Hollowmind - EACH tab now has a close tab button, on the tab itself.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

There's an extension that does that already... I've been using it since 1.01. It's really handy. Glad to hear they are finally integrating that feature.

For those interested, the extension I have on firefox is called Tab X and you can get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=785

While I was looking for it though, I found a different extension that appears to be even better: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1122&application=firefox
It appears to add the close button to the tab, and allows you to unclose a tab... along with other features.

Milkshape 2 better includes a whole shitload of new featues because every time anything important was suggested for 1 Mete claimed that'll go into 2 so he won't build it into 1. At the time it seems like 2 will be released after Duke Nukem Forever and since everybody else is implementing new features much faster than one person can realisticallly write them he has more ground to make up every day. If he ever wants to charge money for it again he better delivers something that blows Blender out of the water and I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell to do that.
