Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 409155

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2

I had several tabs active during 4-5 hours. (up to 10+ tabs).
After a while of inactivity I switched back to the browser.
There were 4 tabs left open.
CTRL+W (which is my favorite for closing tabs) did not work anymore.
Also the menu item was grayed out for the menu item "Close Tab (CTRL+W)"

The remaining tabs could be closed by clicking the X for "close tab" within the tab-bar.
With only one page left the tab bar was correctly removed from the gui.
New tabs could be added after this (CTRL+T) but the problem was still there.
Neither the menu-items were updated nor CTRL+W worked.

After closing the browser completely it took a little time to close it.
Memory Consumption was roughly at 102mb

After closing Firefox CTRL+W worked again and the menu-items in the file-menu are correctly updated.
