Details

The Escape key isn't bound to anything. It should close the current tab (if there are tabs) or the current window (if there are no tabs.) Hitting Escape is the natural reaction to a webpage you don't want to see (or hear). In this way, you could quit out of Firefox by repeatedly pounding on the Escape key, which would be very very satisfying. (also, I note there's no key combination listed next to File/Exit -- on Windows, at least. ctrl-Q?)
