Firefox 24 adds Close Tabs to the Right option

Firefox 24

Mozilla has officially launched Firefox 24 on Tuesday. The new Firefox 24 adds an option to close tabs to the right. This feature is already available in Google Chrome. And from now onward Firefox users will also benefit from this feature. Let's explain this a bit. Suppose you open a site and click on a link which opens in a new tab. Again from that page a link opens in another tab and so on. Finally you find yourself in a mess of tabs. Now you want to get rid of all those tabs keeping the main tab. Earlier you had to close all the tabs one at a time. But now all you have to do is right click on the tab which you want to keep and select 'Close Tabs to the Right' option from the context menu. That's it! All tabs to the right of this tab will be closed at once. Simple and Easy. Firefox 24 also brings support for the new scrollbar style in Mac OS X 10.7 and newer. There have been a couple of other changes too. You can have a look at the Release Notes given below.
