Makes possible to close tabs with a middle mouse button click.
This is much faster than using the tab close button, because of the much bigger target area. Especially this trick helps when closing multiple tabs. During such operation the remaining tabs get resized, and, as result, those little close buttons move around a lot.
Getting accustomed to closing tabs with middle click in Firefox, it is frustrating to find myself clicking on Eclipse editors tab trying to close them. "Middle Click Closes Tab" plugin brings this feature to Eclipse. See http://www.hlsoft.com/clickclosestab_eclipse

There are some minor glitches like middle click is not working, when a menu is showing, but overall a must-have.

What else? I have been using firefox for a long time so I use to use the middle button to close tab and that feature was missing in Eclipse.
Thanks to you, it's finally done =)

Try both. The presentation plugin provides a lot of functionality other than closing tabs. This plugin is much simpler, and as result has less potential for the unwanted effects.

You may or may not like the appearance it uses, but it still seems an infinitely better price/functionnality ratio...
