In my above screenshot I have several tabs open, all of them being a variable length. This can cause some frustration when trying to close several tabs as you generally cannot just click X a few times and have tabs disappear, you must continuously re-position the cursor which is both frustrating and times unnecessary time.

I think managing tabs in a similar fashion to how Google Chrome does it would be handy. All tabs are the same size and the more tabs fill up your screen, the smaller they get to accommodate. Then, if you start closing tabs, they stay the same, shrunken size until you move your cursor off of the tab bar, at which they resize to fill the space.

It would also be handy if all tabs had an X on them, not just the current selected tab.
