Windows 7 (x64)
SeaMonkey/2.24

This whole thread puzzles me.  Since tabbed browsing was introduced as
an inherent feature in SeaMonkey (not via an extension), I have not seen
any change in how tabs are closed.  There is an X at the far right of
the tab bar that, when selected, closes the current tab.  By "current",
I mean the tab whose content is in the view port (window).

I much prefer this over having an X on each tab, as Thunderbird has.
With my old eyes and hands, an X on each tab means I might close a tab
when I really wanted to select and view the tab to its right.

I have no red X.  I do have a white X in a red button, but that stops
the currently loading page from rendering.
