282829 - Closing the last open browser window makes firefox think its being quit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242850

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tc.spam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

if you are currently downloading a file, and close the last browser window, FF
warns you that quiting will interrupt the download.  closing the last browser
window does not quit FF and does not interrupt downloading (which is appropriate
behaviour).
in addition, extensions which are triggered when FF is quit (eg. "Bookmarks
syncronizer") are triggered by closing the last browser window (which they
shouldnt).  opening a single window then sends a 'FF has just been loaded'
signal, which is also inappropriate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start a long download (you can open the download manager window if you like)
2.close the browser window using the red button or select 'Close Window' from
the File menu
3.FF thinks it is being quit...

Actual Results:  
FF thinks it is being quit, and will warn you that quiting will interrupt the
download.  FF does not quit, and the download is not interrupted.

Expected Results:  
we just need to educate FF on the Mac that closing the last browser window does
not necessarily mean that it is being quit, and that then opening a browser
window does not mean that it has just been loaded.

feel free to email me if you need clarification (or even testing a fix)
