I have the setting "always show tab bar" on. I saw a similar bug for 3.0 branch, this bug is for 3.1b3.
Can you try in safe mode? This does not happen for me in trunk.
Version: unspecified → 3.1 Branch
This behaviour has changed, closing the last tab (except with the mouse) now closes the window. There is a related preference accessible from about:config - browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab My understanding is that setting this to false will restore the behaviour you are expecting. If you actually crash (i.e. crash reporter comes up or Windows tells you the application had a problem and needs to be closed) then please provide more details as outlined in the link in comment 2. Otherwise this is a dupe of bug 456405
This problem exists only in last version 3.0.8 ! In previous version 3.0.7 it isn't occur ! EVERYTIME when using multiple TABs... clicking the "X" to close one of all and other still loading the FF 3.0.8 crash. :-( Please, correct this fatal error ! Thanks. Morais

Please read: http://quality.mozilla.org/bug-writing-guidelines As to your posted crash reports, you have a crashing add-on: bp-e116f850-c581-4d1c-bff0-ecbc02090406 [@ coFFPlgn.dll@0x2a9e5 ] This is from a Norton toolbar of some kind. I suggest you disable/uninstall it. This is not a Mozilla bug; please report it to the authors of this add-on. Please seek any further help at support.mozilla.com.

Congratulations Dave ! :-) I don't know how do you find this information in CRASH REPORT, but it is true !!! After I disable the "Norton Safe Web" option, FF crashes has stopped. BUT... in previous FF version (3.0.7) this problem not occurred... Thanks a lot. Morais PS: Why do you talk "Alexandre: This bug report has nothing to do with you." ? I searched for "crash tab" and all BUGs where I post my problem was replied with similiar answer... :-( The TITLE/SUMARY of this BUG has exactly the problem... and you help me to stop it !
(In reply to comment #7) > I don't know how do you find this information in CRASH REPORT, but it is true > !!! Magic. i.e. I dumped the signature's DLL file name on the report into Google. > PS: Why do you talk "Alexandre: This bug report has nothing to do with you." ? This bug was on closing last tab with middle-click, and may or may not be an actual crash. Yours was a crash on closing one with others loading. Not the same issue. Your crashes were also in the 3.0 branch and this was for 3.1 beta. There's always the possibility they could be the same, but with just the information given there is not enough info to say they are. You should file new bugs in this instance instead of posting in one that may or may not be related. Glad you fixed your issue.
