Right now, even when the tabs are too skinny for the title to be read, many can still be identified by the icon. The space separating the tabs and the consistent grouping of widget-icon-title make them easy enough to identify and left placement of the close widget mirrors window widget placement. It was more confusing having the close widget at the opposite end of the tab.
My only complaint is that in current nightlies, when tabs are too skinny to entirely display the title, NOTHING identifies a tab with no custom icon. Shouldn't a mouse-over not just highlight the tab, but display a tooltip showing it's full title or URL?

But the favicons are the best way to tell which tab is which... the Firefox solution of using just ONE close icon which closes the current tab is a nice one, and leaves the tabs much less cluttered generally. (It is positioned at the right extreme of the row of tabs in Firefox; it would be much better at LEFT extreme, though, being more in line with the Mac OS interface.)
