Hello Tom,

Turns out you are not to use the close button like every other program
ever uses but go to the file menu and quit - or set an option in
about:config. Seems to be a real bug when more than one tab open!
Using the close button worked fine here in v40somethingorother.

Why the past tense?  Because I use Pale Moon now, not Ff.



It's not applicable here but it's as well to remember that the close
button and File>Quit don't the same function. The. close button closes a
window instance whereas File>Quit kills the browser. Do File>New Window
and all is revealed.  Killing the browser with close button is a unique
occasion when only one window is open.


Not in my experience Keith. As I mentioned in my post, I always use the close button, and if more than one tab is open I get a warning dialogue asking if I want to 'Quit', 'Cancel', or 'Save (all tabs) and Cancel'. i assume the dialogue box automates both functions you describe, ie closes all window instances and then kills the browser.
