Firefox 3.5 – Close Last Tab – But Don’t Close Firefox

Firefox 3.5 is a great improvement over the past versions, but like many others I discovered one annoyance:

When you only have one tab open and try to close it, it closes Firefox too.

I find this really annoying, but I already found a solution (thanks to Lifehacker):

  • Type “about:config” on your addressbar
  • Type “browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab” and hit Enter
  • The Firefox configuration should show only only entry now, double-click it and you are done.
