In Firefox 0.9 it seems that I could always close the current tab by pressing
Ctrl+W.

In Firefox 1.0, after I have just opened a new tab by pressing Ctrl+Enter on a
link, it seems that I have to press Ctrl+W twice in order to close the tab if I
want to close it before the page loads.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a webpage.
2. Use Find As You Type to navigate to a random link, preferably one that will
be slow to load.
3. Press Ctrl+Enter.
4. Press Ctrl+W before page loads.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Tab should close.

Please reopen if it's still a problem in the trunk.

This could be a duplicate of 249136, if you have new links opening in the
foreground.
