Well it would be more analogous to say "Just because Firefox on Mac does it".  Since Safari, Mac's native browser, does in fact have its close tab buttons on the left.

Regardless we shouldn't do something just because Mozilla and or Mac OS X do/don't do it. We should see what would be best for the users' overall expectations.

Just cause mac does it, doesn't mean its the best. Mac doesn't have the basic idea of window management in the upper left and notifications in the upper right, we do.

Tabbed Applications:
Firefox, gedit, Nautilus, etc.  All these applications have their close buttons on the right hand side of their respective tab.




Appearance Preferences:
The thumbnails do not correctly show the LHS buttons for Ambiance, Radiance and Dust

GNOME Shell:
This may be something more for GNOME devs, but the window controls end up on the right when using GNOME Shell, also closing windows from the Activities Overlay also is in the upper right corner.




+1, +1 and +1



Taking into consideration that many of the interface ideas came from Mac, here's the thing: Firefox on the Mac OS X also has close-tab controls on the right side.
