The above will show just the tab icon, which I find enough to identify them. Plus they're placed consistently instead of shrinking & expanding depending on when more/less tabs are open. In latest Firefox 4/5, add the settings to the 'userChrome.css' file:

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default\chrome\userChrome.css

.tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]) {
min-width: 0px !important;
max-width: 30px !important;
}

The above routine has worked fine with previous versions (much thanks) but this type - nada. I've tried resetting a few times using 8, 10 and 20 character settings. When I return to the Width box my last setting is displayed but when I restart FF the width remains "too wide". Help?

I set my Min and Max both to 150. That way, as I'm closing tabs, they don't get sized differently and I close the wrong tab. Thanks! I set my Min and Max both to 150.
