User Reviews

Users find Close Tab Button convenient and reliable, offering quick, fixed-position control to close individual or multiple tabs. It is highly valued and used for years. However, multiple reviews request better icon visibility and customization, such as restoring an X-like icon or offering different icons/colors to improve readability. Overall sentiment is positive with cosmetic/icon improvements as the main area for enhancement.

Pros

Very convenient and time-saving; allows closing tabs quickly with a single click and reduces mouse movement.
Reliable and long-term useful; works as described and is used by many for years.
Fixed button placement in the toolbar for easy access.
Highly valued by users; many say they can't imagine life without it.

Cons

Icon design changed in newer versions, with the X icon replaced by a less preferred tab icon.
Requests for better visibility and customization, including alternative colors or different icons to improve readability.

Is Close Tab Button Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Close Tab Button does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Close Tab Button has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
