Thank you, Hank.  Since I already knew my user.css was working, I first 
tried /only/ adding the;

.tabs-stack vbox hbox stack { -moz-box-ordinal-group:2!important; }

at the very end of it, and that worked fine.

I wonder how long it will be before I hit the Close Tab button 
accidentally, when aiming at the New Tab button...lol
