Public bug reported: Steps to Reproduce: * Make sure the close tab button is on the right side of the browser window (about:config: browser.tabs.closeButtons = 3) * Open a lot of tabs (empty tabs by pressing Ctrl+T many times is enough) * Press the mouse button to the 'X' icon and hold it -> one tab closes -> sometimes even more tabs close at this time. It feels like holding Ctrl+W on the keyboard but I'm only using the mouse. * * Release the mouse button (not too fast after pressing it) -> another tab closes
Solution: The close action should be executed only once, either when pressing or by releasing the button. *) I have no clue about the behavior that multiple tabs close when just holding the button. It remembers to Bug 683159 but that one seems to be explicitly for TouchPad users.
