Thank You, Sir, I appreciate your reply, and studied it without success.

Am I to understand that the close of a tab can be by a single click of
a tab icon "closeButton" - without right-click first? Where is the
icon? Disabled? How do I activate the browser.tabs.closeButtons icon?
Change the number 3 to what? I tried several to no avail. Is there a
trigger? A combination setting?

I ran a search of this computer drive for any 'prefs' or 'omni' named
files, and am not able to locate any "browser-prefs.js" file, so I
must assume you mean the browser "prefs.js" file, which I am familiar
with.
This prefs.js file contains nothing like you excerpted from yours; and
it is updated when I make changes, so is the active use file.
To refresh - this is a Linux Ubuntu v12.04LTS system, with a Mozilla
built copy of Seamonkey v2.49.1 downloaded and installed manually. Not
a Source Forge or other type installation. It appears from your post
you are a Linux setup; so we are not confusing things with Windows.
Though something is different, or my little grey cells are asleep.
The 'pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 3);' entry I find in the
prefs.js file, and in about.config, - if I change it to a '1' it shows
in the prefs.js file. But that does nothing for altering the tabs to
show a closeButton. So possibly something is not enabled or built with
that feature.
I cannot find info on it in help.
Many descriptions can be found in omni,ja which is located in the folder
seamonkey, where seamonkey is installed. Not in the profile. The above
.js is in omni.ja#defaults/pref together with some other interesting
.js. Also there is omni.ja#greprefs.js.
The omni.ja file is in the Seamonkey program directory, over 19megs
in size and not a text file, some form of data. But I opened it as
text and no closeButton ref can I find in the file. What program
normally opens this file other than Seamonkey?
I cannot find any of the other references you make:
omni.ja#defaults/pref -- only a channel-prefs.js
omni.ja#greprefs.js -- no ref
and I searched, looked back into this computers archives, as I hold
some prior versions of Seamonkey too. But cannot find any help.
The Seamonkey top menu Help-Troubleshooting Information-Important
Modified Preferences table showing 'browser.tabs.closeButton' option
with the '1' I set it for. But no change in Seamonkey tabs.
Thanks anyway.
