This is not a bug, it's working as designed. There's a bug open to discuss changes to this behavior and prompting the user (bug 1545611).

Thanks Francesco. But as a Firefox user, this is confusing to me. Moreover other browsers (like Chrome) simply close the tab on pressing Cmd + w. Hopefully this will be revisited and fixed in design. :)
