Description

[Ernst de Haan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; nl; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; nl; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4

I have a reproducible case on a certain website where I cannot close an open window with Cmd-W (on the Mac). This may be reproducible on other platforms.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox 3.5 beta 4 on a Mac (I used the nl_NL locale, with Mac OS X 10.5.6);
2. Go to http://www.redmarblegames.com/buildalot3.html
3. See the screenshot thumbnails at the bottom, click on one of them. A new window opens.
4. Press Cmd-W to close it.
5. Click on the thumbnail again. A new window opens again.
6. Click on the address bar.
7. Now press Cmd-W to attempt to close it again.
Actual Results:  
The menu "Bestand" ("File") flashes, but the window is not closed.

Expected Results:  
The menu "Bestand" ("File") flashes and the window is indeed closed.

Making that a dupe of bug 489689 which already lists the issue.
