Yes that's a good idea. OTH I was using Mozilla today and the close button 
seemed quit logical in its place since the top right is where you would 
expect the window's close button to be.. However your suggestion seems the 
best. One point against it may be that changing the tab width on activation 
is a little disorientating, so perhaps the button should just appear there 
when it's active, and for other tabs, when the mouse hovers, (if possible, I 
don't know the specifics)
