Same bug.

It, however, warns the user if he has more than one tab opened. Upon selecting
the option to close all tabs, nothing happens. Subsequent clicks to File>Exit
command do nothing.

So, confirming on "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sl-SI; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0" (yes, official 1.0 build!).
Slovenian version on Windows XP, as you can see from the string.

gil,
As the person who originally registered the bug, you have permissions
to change the status:
This effects "all" platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows) across several
versions of each. - If my attempt fails to change that status to "all".
Also, as it's a pretty "in your face" item that many users may experience
I'd also reccomend upgrading from "minor" to "normal"
Lastly, it would be the 1.0 branch -- problem cropped up in ff-1.0-rc1
(that was after ff-1.0PR and includes ff-1.0 final (nov 9))
Thanks

This bug happens for me as well.
WinXP Pro SP2
upgrade from Firefox1.0PR -> Firefox1.0
I did not uninstall 1.0PR prior to installing 1.0
I had the Smoke theme from Aaron Spuler installed on 1.0PR, upgrade disabled
theme when starting 1.0 version.
Problem occured from the first time 1.0 was started and still affects it, even
after installing the updated version of Aaron's Smoke theme.

Did some more digging and found that my occurance of this bug is caused by the
extension "Download Statusbar" by Devon Jensen. Unistalling the extension
corrects the problem for me. 100% reproducible.
I believe that the Download Statusbar extension registers a custom function in
place of window.goQuitApplication
I'm not sure how to fix this as I'm not familiar with writing extensions for
Firefox, so I'll leave it for someone else.
So for me, this bug does not affect my system: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Confirm that. I have disabled extension "Download Statusbar" and firefox exited
when I clicked File - Exit.

Open two Firefox windows.  Make the first one have multiple tabs open, so it
will notify you before it closes.  On the second, most recently opened winodw,
click File>Exit.  It will try to close the first window....go figure!

Since at least two people have confirmed that this is/was an extension bug I'm
closing as INVALID. If anyone is still seeing this without extensions then
please reopen.

p.s. Kyle that is by design, "File->Close Window" closes the current window,
"File->Exit" closes all windows.
