Remove animation from Firefox sidebar

This is a quick one that goes along nicely with the previous post about Firefox’s tab sidebar.

By default there’s almost half a second between hovering the tab bar and it being fully visible, so let’’s get rid of that.

Firefox sidebar tabs - left-align close buttons

It’s userChrome.css, natch.

On my laptop, I use a sidebar for tabs to give a bit more vertical space. Similarly, I don’t want to waste the horizontal space most of the time, so the sidebar is set to auto-hide. The problem with this is that the close button is still on the right-hand side of the tab, so to close a tab, you have to hover, wait for sidebar to display, then find the close button somewhere to the right of where you originally hovered.
