God, I wish I was that disciplined - I typically have 4 to 10 tab groups open, each with 10-20 individual tabs inside. Over the course of a day's work I'll open many, many, *many* more, often in the 50-100 range and half of which I'll want to save for session-restore the next day. I have to consciously discipline myself on tab control otherwise I'd be one of those people with literally 800 tabs open at any one time.

To be fair, I would have thought that was pretty obviously going to happen - in any tabbed application when you shut down the final tab, what did you think it would do? You've basically told it to quit by nuking it's final instance. What would the point be in Firefox being open with no tabs? 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). You might as well try opening Excel with no worksheets, or start terminal with no open terminals. You so crazy :] > Oh well, thanks for all the answers, it has been useful. As ever, that's the only important thing here. Certain other people need to realise they're very lucky to have Firefox as an alternative to whatever proprietary stupid crap they've unwisely chosen to use. Choice is indeed a great thing, until you make the wrong one. Just like there's no accounting for taste, but that's no excuse for not having any. Chrome on Linux indeed. You people are funny.
