Is there some guidline I am un-aware of that said it should close on a double
click? I just middle click it to close.

There's already some discussion on it :)

This is a duplicate of bug 158040

bug 158040 is a mozilla frontend bug. We don't follow Mozilla necessarily in
frontend-issues.

Nevertheless I absolutely agree with timeless comments in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158040#c14

IMO this is a WONTFIX here also.
