Description

[Praveen Tirumandyam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050801 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050801 Firefox/1.0+

When, a tab is closed by window.close only that tab should be closed not the
whole window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto Tools->Options->Tabs
2.Set Open links from other applications to new tab is last active window
3.Set Force links that open new windows in -> New tabs
4.Open multiple tabs
5.GOTO mail.google.com and log in
6.Choose compose now to open the compose UI in new window select the Link on top
right of the Compose just above to field
7.This will just the compose UI in a new tab(As, we forced it so)
8.Now click discard
Actual Results:  
Firefox window as a whole is closed.

Expected Results:  
Only the tab should be closed. This is a major irritant as this will completly
nullify the prefs provided in the options window because, with this issue noone
can browse with multiple tabs because, one them might simply close the whole app.

This looks like bug 302902 which was fixed in the nightly after the one you're
running.

Gavin,

I guess you are correct I just downloaded the latest nightly to reproduce the
issue and it is not reproducible. 

So, with my apologies someone kindly close the bug as Duplicate.
