Are you sure firefox was the window with the focus? to use ctrl+w it needs to be the focused window. sounds like you had to click the emtpy space becasue the firefox window wasnt the focused window. Please make sure thats what it is. I am not able to confirm this on edgy's firefox feistys firefox nor my built firefox 3.0 alpha.
