498922 - command+w on popup/new window does not close window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[jcs]

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

i have a javascript window.open() bookmark on my bookmark toolbar.  after opening it and pressing command+w to close the window, it just closes the tab inside the popup and opens a new one, instead of closing the entire popup window as it used to.

i can also reproduce this with command+n to open a regular new window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a bookmark that uses javascript:window.open() to the bookmarks bar
2. click it
3. press command+w to close it
Actual Results:  
the page that was open in the popup closes, but a new, blank tab opens in the popup.  with the "always open the tab bar" preference off, it does a similar thing and just goes to an empty page.

Expected Results:  
the popup window should close as it did in previous versions.

When you put about:confing into the addressbar, enter, and click through the warning, then paste into the filter box:
browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
can you tell us what value that is set to?
