Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem?

There are alternatives such as extensions which add “Close tab” button into toolbar. In example this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/close-the-tab-button/

### The solution I'd like

Add a `about:config` option to remove the “Close tab” button from tabs, with these options: “Remove only from inactive tabs”, “Remove from all tabs”, and option “Hover on inactive tabs”.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository’s existing Firefox tab styling and about:config options, then identify where the Close tab button is controlled. Implement the requested modes for inactive tabs, all tabs, and hover behavior, and verify each mode in Firefox.
