This is not an error. There is no browser without a tab in it at this point.
That may be a feature in the future, but when you close the last tab, it's like
closing the window. Also, as I said, this worked the same way in Firefox 3.0.
Addons are free to modify functionality. My guess is
It seems a bit odd to change an established behaviour to the worse and
then point to additional software to cure it.
To close Firefox with only one tab open I now have the following
options:
CTRL-W
CTRL-Shift-W
CTRL-Q
ALT-F4
ALT-F-Q
ALT-F-C
ALT-F-d
use mouse to click on the window bar close
This is the correct behavior and I have confirmed with the Firefox
people. I was told that Tab Mix Plus has options to override. Thank
you and please report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This has been the standard
behavior of Firefox since I can remember. If you close the last tab,
there is nothing left for Firefox to keep open. Do you remember which
build had it not working like that?
** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) = firefox-3.5
Hmmm, did you really use that feature before in ff? Because it had actually
never been this way. The first time this comes up is in the 3.5 series. I tried
those installations:
WinXP with ff 3.0.13
intrepid with ff 3.0.11 ... canonical 1.0
intrepid with ff 3.0.13 ... canoncial 1.0
karmic-alpha4
** Attachment added: ff3.5 with only one tab open
