If I close a tab, I'd expect that the window will be closed if this is the only visible tab, not that a new one will be opened (for that there's Ctrl-t). Especially when more than one window is open (this is not my case, but anyway)... After some tests, I found something interesting: 1) the same behavior is reproducible on a Windows 2.0b1 version (maybe you already know this, because it's a feature) 2) this behavior is reproducible only when the option "Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open" (Edit -> Preferences -> Tab) is de-activated. Because if the tab bar is hidden and only one tab is open, Ctrl-w close the window, too. Again, I don't see the point for two different behaviors... > The close button appearing is a bug, though. This is present on a Windows 2.0b1, too, exactly like on my Debian. >> Second one (annoying): I thought that Ctrl-q would close Firefox, [...] > There is no such ctrl+q shortcut. You can use alt-f4. You can't assume Alt-F4 will work on all WMs, because that's not true by default. I use ratpoison and it doesn't bind Alt-F4 to close windows (like Metacity or Openbox do). In fact, on ratpoison hitting Alt-F4 on a just launched Firefox session open the url pop-down selection window, like hitting a single F4...

I know this, what is (a bit) annoying is that sometime there's Firefox, sometime Bon Echo. I'd like only one name. BTW, the official Windows 2.0b1 version always uses Firefox (this is only a remark, not an offense or whatever, as I don't care about the name per se). >> [2] I found that the latest Windows stable version 1.5.0.5 hasn't >> the Ctrl-q shorcut :-( > > This isn't surprising. OK, so why does the latest Mac OS X stable version (1.5.0.5) indeed have a Ctrl-q shortcut (well, Command-q to be precise)? AFAIK Ctrl-q is a widely used shortcut for File -> Exit/Quit. I see two problems with the new behavior: 1) the same version is different WRT to different OSs (where OS X has the shortcut, Windows and GNU/Linux not) 2) let's say Alt-F4 is used to close the window, but this seems to me not a Firefox shortcut, but a WM one; moreover, this is not publicized in the File menu > If you agree, we'll just close this bug, or retitle it for the close > button appearing thing. I agree for the close button appearing bug, but I'd leave this bug for the other two features, as wishlists or wontfix, maybe forwarded upstream. Thank you for your quick reply :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
