I use Firefox all day long. I never want it to close. Right now, when I close the last tab the entire program shuts down. Is there a way of stopping this?

in the Location (address) bar type about:config In the search box on top filter for browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

You can double left-click or right-click and modify preference to false

That kind of worked. But now each window stays open. Its not supposed to do that. Each tab of each window gets closed and each window should close until the last one leaving you with one blank tab on one window.

Guess that was too much logic for the Mozilla brainiacs in the design department. Sometimes I wonder if techies ever actually use what they design. So many simplistic mistakes are made all the time. If they made a car they'd forget to include the tires and put the steering wheel on the roof.
