If you think Safari is so bad, then just don’t use it. :) Not a big deal. For some, its much more convenient than firefox.

But if you want to close a tab that’s not the current tab then I agree it is a that the close boxes jump around.

And the fact that the close boxes waste all that screen space. It would be nice if the close box only showed up when you’re mousing over a tab. Leaving more room for the actual tab text.

I do agree that the close buttons moving because the tabs resize is bad.

You can also switch tabs with the left and right arrows instead of the left and right brackets, I find that easier. Either way it is an easy key combo for me though most people I know simply map it to their mouse (which is even easier).
