The latest version of Firefox now defaults to having a close button on every tab just like Opera. If you don’t like it, or just want to change it, here’s how.

1. Type about:config into the address bar.
2. In the Filter: field, type browser.tabs.closebutton.
3. Change the integer value to:
* 0 - Close button on active tab only.
* 1 - Close button on all tabs (default).
* 2 - No close button. Must use middle-click, Ctrl+W or File -> Close Tab.
* 3 - Close button on far right of tab bar (Firefox 1.5 style).

Changes take effect immediately.

Dad is home from the hospital. Tracy picked him up this morning around 10:00 AM.

He still has a bad cold, but he’s home.

Dad spent the day in the Emergency room. It was nice to see him in his usual humor and his complexion has improved greatly. He has a cold and is dehydrated. This all contributed to him collapsing this morning. He will remain in the hospital overnight. He is on antibiotics and hospital food.

Updates to follow as I get them.

At about 8:30 this morning Dad was transported via ambulance to the hospital after collapsing on the hallway floor. He was passed out cold and was extremely pale . He was admitted into the hospital to find out what brought this on. He was dehydrated and by the time they got him situated, his color had returned back to normal.

That’s right, this 1972 Voxel Victor is unofficially the world’s fastest street-legal car, and was built by a mechanic in England. Powered by a 9.3L V8 engine that produces an incredible 2200hp, it goes from 0-60 in just 1-second.
