Firefox 2 changed to the worse

Example 1: Closing Tabs

In Firefox 1.5 it was possible to close tabs with the mouse without having to move the cursor to each tab.

In Firefox 2, the right corner of the tab bar got a new functionality to list all tabs. It seems, this functionality can't be changed. To close a tab, you have to move the cursor to the right corner of each tab.

(Yes, I know [CTRL]-[T])

Example 2: Clearing Private Data

In Firefox 1 it was possible to decide, which private data to clear on demand.

In Firefox 2 you are not able to decide, which data to clear on demand. It's all or nothing.
