Try this: Turn off the x's as they just waste space. Then close tabs with a middle click or Ctrl+W.

By contrast, for Chrome #tabs > 24

> 28 for for me. I assume it is dependant on the width of tabs, not the number.

Middle click to close those tabs.

Thankfully I can as my Thinkpad has a 3rd button. The majority of laptop users won't be so lucky.

Hitting both buttons usually simulates a middle-click.

If your drivers are clever you can do it with the trackpad, too - sometimes tapping the pad with two fingers will middle-click. Less error-prone than using the buttons.

Or Ctrl+Click if you don't have a middle button (e.g. laptops). Ctrl+W works on the active tab as well.

Unless you're on a flash page, because flash captures your keyboard, because flash hates you.
