Are there any errors in the JS console?

Indeed there are: If I try to close one tab, I get:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getIntPref]"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://undoclosetab/content/undoclosetab.xul :: removeTab :: line 68"  data: no]

If I try to "close all other tabs" I get:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIWebProgress.removeProgressListener]" 
nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://undoclosetab/content/undoclosetab.xul :: removeTab :: line 47"  data: no]

Further observation: When I close an entire window containing more than one tab,
 I no longer get a warning that I am about to close a window containing mutiple
tabs.

Sounds like a bug in the "undoclosetab" thing, whatever it is (an extension?)

Found a JAR file by that name in the CHROME directory. Removed it and everything
seems to be back to normal. 

I do recall installing that extension but it never worked so I promptly forgot
about it. Guess it came back to haunt me. :-)

I hereby mark this bug Resolved:INVALID.

Thanks for the help, everybody!
