### STR:

1. Enable the "Confirm before closing multiple tabs" setting in `about:preferences`.
2. Open a new window. It should have two tabs: the Firefox View tab and the newtab tab.
3. Close the window (using the Ctrl+W keyboard shortcut or clicking the X window button).
4. The window closes as expected.
5. Open another new window. It should have two tabs: the Firefox View tab and the newtab tab.
6. Switch focus from the newtab tab to the Firefox View tab.
7. Try to close the window (using the Ctrl+W keyboard shortcut or clicking the X window button).

### Expected result:

The window should close without interruption. The Firefox View tab should not be considered a "blocking tab" for closing a window.

### Actual result

Firefox shows the "Confirm before closing multiple tabs" dialog. See the attached screenshot.
