But that is what I can't do any more. If I click the x on the last tab and it is empty nothing happens. If it has contents then those contents are removed but the now empty tab still stays there. You've basically told it to quit by nuking it's final instance. No, not for me. Either clear the contents, if any, or do nothing. What would the point be in Firefox being > open with no tabs? It would not be open with no tabs. It would be open with just one empty tab. It would even need a tab to be open by default to > even show it's interface (that annoying homepage thing with a 3x3 grid > of default pages that I've never got around to configuring).

As far as tabs are concerned FF now works just right for me. I can have many open or just one and even if that one is empty it still sits there for me. When I have finished I can use one of the various methods provided to close down. I can use the file menu or Ctrl-Q or the x in the top right hand corner. For me tabs should not have anything to do with closing down FF. And now I have made that change they don't.
